Your opinionated stance on many subjects have been aired via the comments facilities of many of the bloggers who are part of this little world. That you choose not to is entirely your choice and so be it. <br />Worrying about how long it takes to create a post? Some of mine are the result of several days, on/off, sitting at the laptop attempting to muddle something together. Other times the post can be a spur of the minute creation which have, on occasion, caused me some grief.<br />I trust that you and Bronwyn are keeping well?

You're blogging has been the bench mark to which most of us aspire. Well written and thought provoking at so many levels. I am, therefore, most grateful for your comment and support.

Each and every one of us has hit the wall at some time or other. Taking a break is perfectly normal if blogging is becoming a chore. What seems to happen to me is that I then can take a step back, recharge the batteries, before getting back in the groove. Thank you for the kind words and support.

However, unlike your good self, I actually enjoy the colder months as they are synonymous with pike fishing at it's very best. If I do find myself stuck indoors I have no doubt that Bev will have no trouble finding me stuff to do?

I'd blog myself but first of all I have zero motivation to say or expound on anything. And whereas once I could write about anything that came to mind, nowadays I can scarcely write at all. When I try to write, it's just a slog lasting too long for nothing.<br />Even this comment took me about 15 minutes to draft.

I'm not sure why, but am happy to simply go with the flow.<br /><br />The year itself is cyclical, so why not blogging too? June is here, and if I wind up writing similar stuff to last June it won't bother me. Mind you, what NQS readers think about constant repetition I couldn't say! 😄<br /><br />Whatever you end up writing Dyl, I'll still read it. 😊 👍 Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-84770395906739912032021-06-01T11:24:26.587+01:002021-06-01T11:24:26.587+01:00I think all of your posts are 'meaningful'...I think all of your posts are 'meaningful' Dyl. We bloggers seem to think that if we cant get a scoop or write about something amazing we are finished but I hope thats not the case. I really enjoy your blog and those by Steve, Gav, Mark et al. Just seeing and reading what you chaps have been up to is interesting to me. Although we have never met, its like having an old fashioned pen pal with regular updates. When I speak to a neighbour, its just usually about some boring old tat, but that doesnt mean I wouldnt talk to them ? Keep up the good work in the sound knowledge that at least one person looks forward to all of your posts regardless of content.

A lot of people end up resorting to writing about their daily habits and meals etc.<br />Pack all your activities in and enjoy them through these summery months because the winter can be a different ball game when retired and you're stuck indoors on endless wet and cold days.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.com
