Wednesday

I like blogs.  I like them very much.  I like the insight they give me into the mind and the life of other people more interesting that I.  When I come across a new blog that I like, I save it as a favourite and try to revisit it regularly (if not frequently).

I haven't visited some of 'my' blogs for a while so, over the last few days, I have been going a-visiting.  What has dismayed me is how many formerly lively and interesting blogs now seem deserted, empty, with no messages for months, sometimes over a year.  Like my Food Diary blog until a few days ago, in fact, although I haven't left it for as long as a year.
It leaves me wondering how the owners are, whether life has hit them a very hard blow, whether they are still around at all in fact.  It can be a worry.
I makes me realise how involved I get in the lives of others, in a very quiet way, and how much I worry when things go silent.  Silly?  Maybe, maybe not.  Who can tell?  Not I.

Yesterday I drove my car to work and left it in the school car park all day.  When I came out at the end of school and post-school work I found that the snow that had been firmly on the roof had - er - moved.  i actually looked quite dramatic.

There's a fair bit of overhang there, don't you think.  Almost an avalanche's worth!

I made another Yorkshire pudding yesterday, a bigger one, like a bowl, into which I piled some of the Sunday beef and some veg and gravy.  It was wonderful.  I've posted the recipe on my other blog blog with due credit to the wonderful Delia,
