Having now given it its correct home, have decided to leave other comment in place. Two reasons 1) Am too dim to remove it 2) It contains nagging and this blogger needs as much as possible.<br /><br />Okay, I know I nag you, but this exactly why I do it. I'm uncertain of the word I want to express my feelings of utter admiration. They all seem far too inadequate. I love this blog, adore the blogger to the extent of previously mentioned missing word and beyond.<br />One day, you will get it into, sadly dense on this topic if no other, skull what a wonderfully evocative writer you are. I yearn for more. The relentless maw of devoted appreciation is never sated. *sorry, pretentious, not to say unworthy sentence there*<br />Observational writing transcends mere description when it's in your hands. You make me laugh, make me catch my breath, leave me whimpering on the mat like a dog; sometimes all in the same piece.<br />For anyone unsure by now, I'm a massive fan of this richly talented woman and shall not cease from cajoling until she sets herself upon her true calling: the entertainment and education of a mass market. <br />With humble gratitude for allowing me the opportunity to read more of my favourite blog.<br />NB. Not a word of the above is OTT. I may be a frivolous and fickle creature, but on this topic I am resolutely constant. <br />Unable to sign in properly from this beach bar, so may be forced to be anonymous. <br />That being the case<br />jake Barton (Fan)Jake Bartonhttp://jakebarton.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-24242902874608303672012-01-27T15:19:14.126+00:002012-01-27T15:19:14.126+00:00A lovely post, and so true to life!

Please do not wait too long for that next post.<br /><br />What you write about what is said and not said and still communicated really rings true with me.<br /><br />I have old friends with whom a certain shorthand has grown over the decades. At the shop, in my various brief encounters with colleagues and customers, there is yet another version of what is said, not said, yet communicated. I must always be wary of waiting for a hint from the other person as to what might be conversable, and yet often am amazed that what sorts of connections are made.<br /><br />What you've expressed really did strike a familiar tone. Even without a dog in sight. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-23992271491067133042012-01-26T17:13:27.508+00:002012-01-26T17:13:27.508+00:00Nice things, Milla - nice things!

Or maybe the router - en route (as it were) to a safe place - crashed into the dog. Dog has indigestion and router is - did you know how high the acid concentration is in a dog's stomach? You get the picture - which is more than the computer does (without the router).

Big but, would really quite like to know more about the rationale behind them being a necessity for school children. And why super expensive, super sexy iPads which don't handle as far as I can see the most common word processing software and are very selective about which printer they work with. Are they being proposed as an alternative sort of library or something?

Mind you, there's about a PC for child anyway, so it's probably cheaper.

Yes, they have their place, yes the internet has its place too but I just wonder what's going to happen when the internet's down at home (as it frequently is here), when their little eyes are bored of the screen, when teenage minds can click over to FB with the mere flick of a switch (school say they'll put in safeguards to make sure it doesn't happen, oh how we parents laughed), when word gets around that 11 year olds are carrying i-pads in their school bags with their uniform advertising clearly just what school they're from. Sorry, I did say, don't get me started. <br /><br />Love the picture of the heels and the munchkin men.<br /><br />Keep smiling!Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-25651728995712366252012-01-26T13:20:24.893+00:002012-01-26T13:20:24.893+00:00thanks to you all.
