...Wow, what a speedy reply to me. I feel honoured.<br /><br />Actually the photos load speedily, it's just that I don't get the full glory of them particularly so tend just to scroll past them unless you've got a particularly pithy comment on one.<br /><br />As I said, personal, if you enjoy putting them all up and others enjoy seeing them that's great. I don't dislike them (how on earth could I? glorious Scotland and beautiful dogs), just prefer the writing and would be perfectly content with one or two pictures.Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360878379989903535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-11200580813598642602011-02-07T16:56:59.278+00:002011-02-07T16:56:59.278+00:00Cal - thank you so much.

I decided to do that partly because I like reading the blogs I love every day, and get impatient for more content, and also because it is actually easier for me. If one gets into the habit of daily blogging, then it does not become a big thing in one's head. Do understand about the problem of photographs and the loading. Never quite sure what to do about that. But hope too many visuals do not put you off.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-11780149765143427592011-02-07T16:53:00.041+00:002011-02-07T16:53:00.041+00:00Oh, and whilst I do read other comments on posts I...Oh, and whilst I do read other comments on posts I've commented on (because they come to my inbox) I absolutely don't expect a blogger to respond personally to my comment (though it's lovely when they do). <br /><br />What I really, really appreciate though is frequency of blogging. I love the fact you blog so much. (The fact I don't blog regularly shows how much I appreciate the effort.)Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360878379989903535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-18425164370086300672011-02-07T16:50:51.341+00:002011-02-07T16:50:51.341+00:00I love your long posts.

Ramblin or focussed both are good.<br /><br />However, as I normally read them either on my phone or on google reader I have to say that sometimes I find the volume of photos harder to deal with. The photos are gorgeous and I love your commentary with them, but I guess I'm not as much a visual person (when it comes to blogs) as verbal one.Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360878379989903535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-49003920795034641952011-02-04T18:10:23.220+00:002011-02-04T18:10:23.220+00:00Rachel - how kind you are.

Am so glad I am not the only gloveless person wandering around in slight befuddlement. Did actually find the missing one today, stuffed under a cushion for no reason I could fathom.<br /><br />Michelle - as always, you are so generous and kind. Thank you.<br /><br />Rose - so agree about the heap. The libraries especially are making me hysterically sad. I have been meaning to do a post on it, but the whole thing seems so insoluble I do not know where to start. I think that is why sometimes I just have to concentrate very hard on the dogs and the lichen, although that really is not exactly pulling one's weight.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-51113917718495551512011-02-04T12:28:41.129+00:002011-02-04T12:28:41.129+00:00blogs just vary- long short or medium sized they a...blogs just vary- long short or medium sized they are good when they are good- and yours most definitely are! <br /><br />I know how you feel about not being able to think too much on Egypt- also closer to home my country seems to be collapsing around me and no one seems cross enough- it just makes me want to sit down in a heap I'm afraid and I feel so guilty I'm not doing more. <br /><br />Closing libraries and the world service and things that seem unimaginable and wrong and the money saved probably doesn't touch the sides of the banks- and no one seems to really care.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-81704542412279510192011-02-04T01:10:58.950+00:002011-02-04T01:10:58.950+00:00Tania - I agree entirely with Rachel: your blog is...Tania - I agree entirely with Rachel: your blog is the gold standard. It is the only blog I read daily because I find everything about it pitch perfect.<br /><br />While you are on one side of the world fretting over your posts, I am on the other hoping you won't change a thing.<br /><br />I do understand the perfection genie. Some of us are cursed by her without the wherewithal to deliver. You are visited by her and hold your own in every way that matters. <br /><br />I feel like I have a lovely pen-friend, only you do all the work!

I came to work this morning with only my right glove! I only wish I could express our similar thoughts as well as you.

I find it inspiring but also quietly reassuring in the way you metodically process what matters to you and the honesty in which you share your considerations. Above all the generosity of your spirit that manifests itself everywhere in so many little ways (I love the Bonus Posts!!).<br />So there: I think you are sitting on it, that misterious gold standard, just like in that lovely Dog Island picture.Cristinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-41603423385136853542011-02-03T19:51:29.922+00:002011-02-03T19:51:29.922+00:00Oh Connie, that is so kind and touching that it ma...Oh Connie, that is so kind and touching that it makes me a bit teary.
