ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! Have you been on holiday for 6 months??
ReplyDeleteNah...it's just that most of these were 300-400 pages.
DeleteWell done! I've been reading but not blogging. I need to catch myself up.
ReplyDeleteYes...once in a while the blogging gets to be a chore. Better to read and not blog, than blog and not read IMO :)
