Your blog is such an inspiration to me, and i am in love with the about awards sec. – i guess i am not the only one who rather pass up an award to keep themselves on track

Thanks. I hardly know what to say. Really. So I’ll just repeat “thanks” and shut up.

I stumbled on your blog via comments from another and I just love it. So much in fact that I immediately sat down with a nice cup of tea to read it all. I have no doubt I will shortly be buying your book on US Amazon, although I should probably warn my husband first if I am sending it to our US house so he doesn’t think I’m making suggestions for weight loss and the end of our marriage. I do hope one day to achieve a similar level of humour and insight with my blog when I make the reverse trip over the pond. Of course that would involve actually writing rather than drinking tea and reading much better blogs all day!

I couldn’t help expecting your comment to end with the tea all over the keyboard. Sounds like everything survived intact though. I’m glad you’re here, and glad your keyboard’s still working. Thanks so much for the compliments. I just came back from browsing your blog and it makes me want to go kick something that you and your husband are having to battle the bureaucrats just for the right to live together on the same continent.

“British humour” was how I found you. You are one funny lady, Ellen. Yours is about to become the fourth, and maybe final, blog that I am going to follow. I can’t handle more than that and still read and write and do the washing up and laundry. I love your style! And you’re not even British… Juliet

Thanks for that. I know what you mean about putting a limit on how many blogs you follow. Real life is out there somewhere, making a nuisance of itself. I’m glad I made the cut.
And I’m fascinated by the search terms that lead people here. The latest one is “good guys refrigerators.” I have no idea what they were looking for or why somebody’s algorithm dumped them here.

Good Guys is a white goods and electrical items chain in Australia. Maybe it picked up on someone commenting your work was cool. ;p

That explains the search, and many thanks for that piece of information. Why Lord Google decided they’d like to be here is still a mystery. And an even deeper mystery is why they agreed, at least for one mad moment.

Of course I didn’t mean that Americans are not funny. Just that you were not what I expected to find when I put in my search words. Sorry for any confusion.

Go to the black bar above the headline and below the photo and look for Home (on the left). Hit that. The look in the column to the right of the post. Scroll down a bit–below the photo of half my face and below the second bit of blue type you’ll find a Follow button. Hit that. Job done. And thanks for wanting to.

Looks like I was already following. Thanks. Had a look at your website. I was very worried about a binge drinking friend in the UK when I wrote this, now I remember:

Ellen, until I started poking around your blog to find out more about you, I didn’t realise you have 3 books published, and articles published. So are you a writer, journalist by profession?

I’m officially retired at this point. Before that, I worked as an editor. I’ve also taught writing, driven cab, worked in a candy factory, and lasted four hours as a receptionist. Among other things. I did work on an underground paper in the sixties. It was terrible, but it was the sixties, and–well, it was terrible. We were young and didn’t have a clue what journalism was about. And I worked on or wrote for a couple of community papers, which were more respectable but no better, really. At this point, I can cobble together a decent article, but nobody much wants to hear from me. Without blogging, I’d be hanging out on the street corner getting into trouble.

You are really interesting. I always felt from your blog you are experienced. Well, I am clueless and naive as writing isnt my profession ( I am in IT known as a functional/business analyst). Interviewing you is going to be fun and great learning for me. Thank you once again.
