BLOGNOTE - APOLOGIES

Please forgive lack of posting: I have not been well today, having had a flare-up of an old ankle injury which reduced me to sitting around with ice on my foot all day! If I normally visit your blog but have not managed it in the past week, please do not give up on me - I'll be there soon.

Auguri to all our readers from Welshcakes and Simi xx

BLOGNOTE - COMMENTS

My Italian email service has been down all day, so it is possible that some comments are not getting through. Please bear with me if yours do not appear tonight - we are promised that all will be well tomorrow!

BLOGNOTE - LAYOUT

Mucking about with the layout tonight. I "may be some time"!

DON'T LOOK NOW...

... but I think the site meter is working again!

BLOGNOTE - STATS

My site meter is still stuck. I can't reinstall it /put on an updated one /put on another statistics counter because to do that you need a "layout" tab and I haven't got one! According to blogger help, to get it I have to upgrade my template and that involves losing most of what is in the sidebar. I'm scared I won't be able to reinsert the information! So I am sitting here procrastinating and trying to summon the courage to muck about with it...

BLOGNOTE: A PAUSE

I spent most of yesterday being depressed before realising that my "sitemeter" is stuck and has been for 27 hours! Is anyone else having trouble and does anyone know what to do? I'm also nursing a broken finger which is really stupid but slowing down my typing! Long post coming up soon!
