I miss them sometimes.
When all we did was write about our day, and I used to wander round the blogring (must fix it) desperately hoping someone would have blogged.
I used to use sage blogreader in thunderbird (newer readers are wondering what I’m talking about now!) and it would highlight when there was a new post. You’d rush over to read it and comment on someone else’s day, our virtual chat over the garden wall.
Never looked at the stats. (What stats?) You could tell when people had read because they left a comment. You only had about 10 readers anyway. Or sometimes they blogged about what you’d written about, and linked back. (Do you remember links? Real proper actual links? I know you do Merry.)
There were awards. Of course there were. And memes. Quizilla. Who remembers quizilla (kind of like the precursor to buzz feed for those who’ve never heard of it.) Occasional carnivals. We did theme days, like the home ed day in pictures. (Might do one of those, now I think of it, anyone up for it?)
Of course, if I wrote about my day today, it would be pretty boring. Mainly I did stuff off my todo list while adding items to focus on to allow me to avoid some of the items I put on first. Come on, everyone does that. Don’t they?
Tigerboy mainly played on the computer, and ran around outside like a loon. Smallest is planning a picture book, but is sad because she doesn’t think she has the right crayons.
Small alternated between gaming and leaping in the garden, and Big researched 1920s shoes and planned a dress. There was measuring and everything.
So there you go. A day in the life.
