Odd Thomas Odd Blog

Either my blog has suddenly become interesting or there is something wrong with Blogger stats... My posting has been sketchy at best but according to the stats that doesn't really matter as I've had nearly a 2500% increase in pageviews yesterday alone, presumably by people panicking about the title of my August 2010 post title Facebook RIP ! However, according to Google Analytics, nobody has set foot here since 15 November - about the time of my last post - and even then, it was fewer people than were interested in the Snap Your Chap exhibition, though I'm not sure that's entirely surprising. However, never fear, people, FarceBook is still alive and kicking ... though I have a challenge for each of you: For a period of 30 days, deactivate your Facebook account and do something interesting I dare you...

Well, I'm finally back from the hols to the Lake District and, as is normal, wishing I was still out there. That said, it was nice to get back to my own place and fall asleep without being suffocated by feather duvets!* From a photographic perspective, I really needed to stay there longer in order to increase my chances of decent weather: unfortunately, not really an option. All-in-all, a nice trip, but not very productive, so it looks like I will be returning to the area in the new year ... I'm thinking February when there is hopefully some snow on the ground :-) At some point, I will be placing the pics onto Flickr , and perhaps a few of the more casual photos here, after all, I have a week's worth of blogging to catch up on and it would be nice to show some of it too! Though with it all written down in a notepad, I suspect you will be getting a précise rather than a step-by-step re-telling of the break ... keep your fingers crossed! Probably the most interesting part ...
