post 500....

while checking the "stats" page this morning

I discovered that this post is

the

500th

FIVE hundred posts
of nothing much

18,044
visits to this page of mine

since I put up the globe that shows all.....

(and then stupidly deleted the other day)

that's quite mind boggling

well to me
 anyway!!

in the world of blog
that is nothing compared to some
but we shouldn't compare ourselves to others
should we
!!!

I started
 roomontheleft
because
the husband and the sister and a couple of friends
kept saying I should
and when I got
"blue"
my little camera
 with the eye that sees what I see
and then improves the view
I thought
why not?
and for those of you who have stayed
here from the beginning
I thank you for
 your kindness
 your encouragement
and support
and
in so many cases now
friendship
be it only through this machine on the desktop
I always say
always....
to the point of brain freeze
that this
not so new anymore
way of meeting people around the world
is like having pen pals
only now we get to "see" them
interact with them instantaneously
and that's the good thing about hi-tech gadgets
how else could I "speak" to or get a visit from someone in
Australia
 Indonesia
Malaysia
Norway
Sweden
Italy
France
at one point
Iceland
Portugal
Spain
Gibraltar
Brazil
Argentina
and a little tiny island off the north coast of S America
that I still don't know the name of!!!
the Azores
Vietnam
South Africa
Nova Scotia
Canada
England
Ireland
Scotland
Wales
and other places
the big woods up north USA
Arizona
and
Louisiana
and almost all the other states USA
all in one day sometimes
the other day
there were 127 "hits"
and I had done nothing that day
so to all of you who come here
and leave a comment
or don't
who have been here with me from the beginning
or have just joined this little blog of nothing much
I really truly
thank you
again

......
and now that I have,
as one friend said yesterday,
given birth to
little bunnie fu fu
and her blog
with the help of Auntie Mia and
the ever so important
J O E
I hope to keep going for a little while longer
and
I will say right here and right now
that I'll try to keep the two blogs
separate
me here
and
her there
.......

so shall we raise our cups of
tea and coffee
or Red bush tea
and whatever else it is that gets you through
yet another
post
of nothing much
and
toast
one another
because without you there

this truly would be
me
talking to the wind........

see ya!!
