Dear Friends,
Here is a blog post I promised myself I would never write: the one where I write that I'm not really sure what to write about recently, the wishy-washy, boring, shitty, 'Woops, I didn't do no blog' one. . . I hope you like it!

What is my gripe? Well. I am trying to get shit going, but sometimes shit just goes nowhere! And I'm not sure what is interesting, let alone what to tell you guys about! Also, I keep forgetting to take my camera places. And a lot of the things I do aren't very idyllic or heroic at all anyway. And sometimes I want to show you things and then I don't do it straight away, so they go on the to-do list which makes the prospect of them instantly boring . . . so I don't do them, because that is how I roll! Sigh.

Let's see where things go from here then eh?

The gate being swallowed/hugged by the tree is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Sir
ReplyDeleteI was having a similar feeling the other day! This seems to be the time of year when I do very little, and then worry about how little I'm doing. So don't worry about it! I'm sure lots of people are doing the same stuff, but at least you're eating sensible food and having fun!
ReplyDeleteI prefer when people are a bit in the air. Sort of out there and interesting. Irreverent. On a blog anyway where I just like wandering about perusing.
ReplyDeleteI might have to rethink this but it's balmy sunny here this evening and it's lovely.
You're due a respite...we'll wait..Our anticipation will merely grow....Refresh...restore.

ReplyDeleteHello
I've been feeling exactly the same, in a total blog wilderness. For me I think it's partly because instagram has usurped the old way of blogging, making anything more than an immediate, one photo wonder seem tiresome. You totally pulled off the post though, nice images!

Brilliant x
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing a very similar feeling about blogging at the moment too. Partly because I've just discovered Instagram and also I think because it's so wonderfully summery. I rarely read blogs through the summer so wonder if continuing to write mine is a bit pointless too and giving up half my Sunday to write posts when it's still 30 degrees outside is a total bummer. Oh well - onwards, upwards etc. We can be sure that soon the rain and autumn will come. x
ReplyDeletelove your photos and your words!

Hallelujah I'm not the only one. I love a bit of truth serum on blogs cause sometimes it can seem impossible to live up the idyllic life of other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteKeep your strength up and just do the best you can with what you've got. It's all any of us can really do.
Thank you Pete! And Jane! And Linda, I love your sign off, very comforting.
ReplyDeleteAnd hello Jo Waterhouse: I know you, it's so funny that we both do secondhand stuff. I love those photos you took recently, they're brilliant!
You're right Bethan: Instagram is a wonderful thing - and so instant and so many people milling around. But I think a lot of my heart is still with blogs - maybe because I fancy myself as a bit of a reporter. I'm sure I'll get my mojo back.
Nice blog Petal and Plume! And you too Elisa. And thanks for your nice words.

Yes well that's all very well but it is now time to resume normal service please...
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks Madeleine
ReplyDeleteI feel the same, I guess more because the nice weather and the fact that is school holidays, I prefer to spend my time outside and spend less time at the computer. There are lots of speculations about instagram has made blogs obsolete, I don't believe so, these are just two different media. I still prefer blogs and I noticed lots of people are not instagramming much as they used to do, and to be honest how many pictures of what you eat, drink, wear, buy, sell etc etc each day you can show before they become repetitive?
ReplyDeleteI really like the selection of images you have chosen for this post especially the one of your friend lying down, it perfectly describe the way I'm feeling these days. Toddlededoo x
