Thanks.

Do you know what I find difficult about blogging? People are generous with their time. They read what I have to say, and sometimes they go to the trouble of commenting. I’m not sure why they do it, but I find it quite moving. Maybe I listened to The Ugly Duckling too much when I was a kid. Believe me, I really took that song to heart!

Anyway, the fact is it puts onto my shoulders something I can’t find the right word for (not even when I stoop to ending a sentence on a preposition!) It certainly isn’t a burden, and I wouldn’t say it’s as strong as a responsibility, but it’s edging in that direction. So when I have a day like today, when several other burdens are tugging my spirits in the wrong direction, I feel that I’m being in some way neglectful. Neglectful of what, you might ask. No idea.

But then, you wouldn’t want me to say something just for the sake of saying something, would you? No. Right then, I’ll just say something I mean.

Thank you for reading. I appreciate it.

And you might want to hear how Deva Premal says ‘thank you’ here. It’s really cute, and she radiates a rare inner beauty. Pity about the bloke. Somebody said he looks like me! No, he doesn’t. Only certain bits. His guitar’s bigger than mine.
