To blog or not to blog...
So. I've had a bit of a blog spruce up in an effort to get back into this whole blog thing. They that the effective life of a blog is five years and I must say I've hit that wall pretty hard. A lot has changed since 2009. These days I rarely seem to open my laptop and use my iPhone and iPad o interact with like-minded souls all over the world in real-time using Instagram and Twitter. Blogger seems so old fashioned now with its HTML, uploading and linking (don't get me started on how difficult it is to even comment on a blog!) but I can't quite bring myself to abandon ship. Many of the bloggers I used to follow have jumped ship ahead of me although I have re-connected with some of them on new platforms so I'm still in two minds.
Having said that Instagram and Twitter have introduced me to some interesting new blogs like Mandarine's where Melody walks me through the forest of Latvia and shares her gorgeous knitting projects; Miriams Kafferaps where I get an insight into the vintage scene in Stockholm; and Gracia and Louise where I see what a truly authentic creative life looks like so maybe there's life in the old girl (and this one too!) yet. We shall see...
Thoughts?

The sun'll come out, tomorrow...
Originally uploaded to Flickr on April 14, 2009by truds09Well, it's blue sky and sunshine all the way today! Last night I had a terrible misadventure with html coding and thought I had lost half my blog. It all started with a little experiment in making my photos bigger and my text area wider. How hard could it be? Usually the phrase 'edit html' is something I keep well clear of but for some reason when I should have been heading off to bed I decided to do a bit of tinkering. Big Mistake.
After much frantic googling I finally found out how to retrieve my previous version and all was restored. Having lost the lot momentarily I realised just how much I have come to love this little fella. I have always loved writing and I like the thought that you are out there somewhere reading along with me. I like the fact that writing helps you to reflect on and make a little more sense of your life. I love the sharing aspect of it and am enjoying reading your blogs too so thanks for dropping by and don't forget to leave me a comment from time to time.
