We have a few moves, but we haven't added to our dancing repertoire in a long time.<BR/><BR/>Dancing Doc - Thanks so much for your kind feedback. When I get back to England, it will be time to take a pic called "The Barn in Spring."<BR/><BR/>Stacy - Thanks! <BR/><BR/>It's Just Me - I often think that some of the best bits actually happen in the comments.<BR/><BR/>Crystal Jigsaw - I'm feeling really bad that I haven't visited anyone in almost two weeks! I haven't had much computer time in TX.<BR/><BR/>Yvonne - The Blogging Wormhole! So apt.<BR/><BR/>Dick - Do you watch movies when your iron, or are you a radio man?<BR/><BR/>Sarah - Yes, you are one of my early "finds" . . . but so many new friends this year.<BR/><BR/>FF - I loved your obsession list. Well-done.<BR/><BR/>Lucy - One of the interesting things about blogging is that one ends up with a sort of journal which, amongst other things, chronicles the waxing and waning of various obsessions. I used to never take pictures, and now I'm loathe to post without them.<BR/><BR/>A Modern Mother - After the holiday, we need to organize our meet-up for sure. Charlene and I can discuss our baking obsession.<BR/><BR/>Anna - It is helpful to learn a bit about what your camera can do, but as you say, the most important bit is just practicing . . . and looking at a lot of good pictures.<BR/><BR/>thefamilyJulz - Thanks! I'm glad my "metaphor" made sense to you.<BR/><BR/>Anne - Funny little things remind me of you, too. I need to visit you!<BR/><BR/>Dancing Doc - Happy Easter to you and yours, too.

It all makes me feel quite motivationally challenged...<BR/><BR/>Ironing seems to be something of a theme at the moment!<BR/><BR/>I often say to myself 'no new mates!' on the blogging front anyway, but I think really there should always be room for another. I do sometimes accept the necessity now to let the odd one go, or at least visit less. It's not easy though.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the awards. I'm lazy with passing those on when I get them too, but they are a good way of giving people a mention, saying what you like about them, and sometimes making new connections...Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-40242970578852680732009-04-05T06:21:00.000+01:002009-04-05T06:21:00.000+01:00This is too funny!

It gets harder to keep track. I love your photography aperture/blogging analogy. That’s great that you are taking a course! <BR/><BR/>Congratulation on your awards. An Austen award is a good fit for your blog. I’m guilty of the book buying obsession, as you know.

If I leave a bookshop without having made a purchase, I feel scratchy for the rest of the day. And ironing too - hitherto a secret vice, but now I'm outed I feel liberated.

(How could I resist your begging?)<BR/><BR/>Bon Bon - I'd LOVE to hear about your obsessions. Please?<BR/><BR/>Lisa - The Venn diagram thing cracks me up. There is definitely only one or two degrees of separation when it comes to blogging.<BR/><BR/>She - Ah, that explains it! I've never heard of this, but I will check it out.<BR/><BR/>A Woman of No Importance - Well, I consider ironing to be my excuse for watching movies in the afternoon. Does that make you feel better?<BR/><BR/>JCR - Wow, thanks! (And of course I don't mind if you add me.)<BR/><BR/>Pamela Terry and Edward - I can't believe that ironing is such a maligned task! I can think of much more unpleasant household chores . . .<BR/><BR/>Catherine - I agree; blogging is ideal for those with a solitary streak. But then it becomes so difficult to limit yourself . . .<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth - You really don't need a course at all! You already have the artistic eye . . .<BR/><BR/>Nimble -- Thanks for those really kind words. Being in touch with you again is one of the best bits.<BR/><BR/>Barrie - And we share the Xmas ornament collecting habit, too! (Thanks again for "awarding" me.)<BR/><BR/>Reya -- Thanks so much. Your blog is one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Maggie May - I wanted to mention your wonderful blog, but Barrie got to you first!
