An unrelated footnote:
If anyone has had difficulty commenting here, feel free to email me at malinzblog at yahoo dot co dot nz. I'm hoping Blogger hasn't changed settings which mean we can't chat.

I know one of our regular Microblog Mondays bloggers has started a new blog, and, frustratingly, I can't comment on her page. Though it is not a Blogger blog.

  2. This is lovely Mali! And so true.

    And what gives with Blogger! It's gotten to the point that I'm seriously considering migrating...

  3. Lovely! And true. I get so irritated with the "everything happens for a reason" trope. And with people who always said, "it'll be your turn soon." So minimizing of the losses sustained along the way to the big loss of never having it be "my turn." Blergh.

    And argle blargle to Blogger issues, how frustrating!
