I have been reading a book I borrowed from the library, 'Blogging for dummies.' It is slighly out-of-date now I think, as the online world quickly evolves, and I have noticed on Amazon that an updated version has recently been released by different authors. The author of this version, Brad Hill, recommends the following article about how to write a better weblog. He also suggests that you should update your blog every weekday as to not lose readers. In general, I only try to update my blog when I have something useful to say, heeding the wise advice from my dad, 'If you have got nothing to say, say nothing.' Nevertheless, today I shall try to say something, despite having nothing to say.
My mum told me that everyday you should try to think of 5 things that you are grateful for.
Here are my 5 for today:
1) That I live close to the supermarket, so can just nip out and get some ingredients. For some strange reason, I love wandering around supermarkets even if I don't buy anything (which is rarely, as I can usually find something).
2) That I have my own space and don't need to share with other flatmates, such a luxury.
3) Of course, I live with my 'AlmostVeggieHubby' but I am grateful for that too, and that he has his visa for the time being.
4) That VeggieHubby loves washing up.
5) That I can randomly ramble on and someone, somewhere will read it ;-)
I know EXACTLY what you mean about the grocery store bit... when I shop with the Hubster he likes to get in, get'er done, and get out. I like to go by myself though so I can wander, see what's new, invent new recipes in my head with what I see and just generally enjoy being there. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd aren't we lucky that we have such choice in the supermarkets? I completely accept the food miles concern and much else that supermarkets should take responsibility for. But we have no shortages.
ReplyDeleteFrankofile - Yes we are so lucky to have so much lovely food readily available. I should try to buy local produce but I admit that it isn't the first thing I look out for.
ReplyDeleteShopgirl - Lots of people seem to hate foodshopping, but I am glad there are others like me who enjoy it. Now I have some time on my hands, I can just wander around at leisure. Bliss!
