FALL DOWN SEVEN TIMES, GET UP EIGHT...


Haha, scared you there, sorry. At some point I took a screenshot of some of the THREE THOUSAND do-not-enter signs Google helpfully replaced every single one of the images of this blog with earlier in the year, for no reason, with no apology. 

I have now replaced every . single . one . of the photos, manually, by hand, one by one. 

It was... an experience. Once I got back into the deepest recesses of the archives, I discovered some embarrassingly written posts and even some funny ones - let's face it, I was amusing in 2007.

This was a huge inconvenience, took such an enormous amount of my time that I stopped counting, and at times I was tempted to just delete the whole thing. Most people might think why on earth would you bother? No one blogs anymore anyway... 

I think the answer to that is that I'm stubborn. You mess with my shit, I'm going to put it right. 

Anyway let's replace these nasty round signs with a more pleasing screenshot. I think I'll have to delete the above one soon actually. It's making me feel ill. 


That's better. 

Do feel free to peruse the archives, while I... well I don't quite know what I'm going to do with all this spare time on my hands now.

I have to admit, when I started reading your blog, I did go through the archives up to the very first post, and once in a while I go back to re-read my favourite posts. I find it very commendable that you have so much patience (3000!!!) and dedication as to re-upload all your images. Thank you!
