As a sequel to my comment about the Finnish reader of my blog, I thought I should add that, contrary to what I had supposed, he or she had not finished reading, at that time. Ultimately, their single visit to the blog amounted to 3 hours, 8 minutes and 8 seconds. They read through 125 pages. Without a doubt, that is the longest anyone has spent on a single visit, to my blog since it began.
Yet, the Finnish reader is not alone. Someone today, from Singapore, spent two hours, eight minutes and 56 seconds on a visit, reading 65 pages.
Thank you all for taking such an interest.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI remember spending at about 6 hours a day for TWO days going through ALL the pages the first time I chanced upon this blog.
There will be many detractors with regard to the purpose and content of this blog. I hope you and your family will remain strong, oh and keep on writing!
best wishes

Thank you for your encouragement - and for your own interest in my blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do remember your visits - in that you came repeatedly over a couple of days, for up to a couple of hours or more each time. It was good to see.
Yes, you are right. Some people love the blog - and are warm and supportive (and it is such people that make writing rewarding) - but there are others who seem to be filled with darkness who occasionally write nastiness to me. I try to be philosophical and set their bile against the kindness and well wishes of others - who seem to outnumber them by far. Most people are, after all, sane - and most people are, after all, able to appreciate what another has learnt from life - and parenting.
Best wishes to you TUG - and thanks for your continued interest in my daily writing labours!
