Consolidation

The internet feels as if it is changing again.  There’s things I miss about the (my) early days – I miss websites, I miss LiveJournal – when your friends page was just your friends posts, in the order they are published.  Facebook is still just a small amount of people reposting other peoples posts – there’s no personal content – there’s nothing to show you how your friends are.  I know I’m as guilty as others but I do post updates too, which seems to be a rarity.  I love Instagram, but it now all seems to be about businesses – I just want to post photos with no alternative reasons.  I fell away from Flickr but I think I will go back to it – because I take more photos than I post and I should post a bit more, so I think Flickr will start being a home for all sorts.  I like TikTok but I only watch, I don’t do tiktoks – the closest I get to it is when I hear my alarm clock at night but that’s more ticktock than tiktok.  I’m also on Twitter but I’m hearing that there are death knells in the offing.  I’ve signed up to Mastadon but haven’t actually figured it out and I’m not sure I really want to.

So that is my lament.  My other lament is the fact that I’m terrible at blogging – I am – the previous post is from Easter and it’s only a miracle that it’s Easter of this year!

I’ve renamed this blog from Comfy Corner to My Corner of the Internet and I’m going start posting here with hopefully a bit more frequency.  The reposts from Facebook, the updates, the brief updates that would be twitter, a few reposts of other peoples work on the likes of Insta & TikTok – my own photos from insta & flickr will be over on the photo blog.  I am too spread-out and it’s time to start to consolidate it all.

I’m tempted to say Stay Tuned to this station but going on my previous record, I won’t be that cruel!  However, I do hope to do better!

Stations of the Cross 1-7(via Rev. Richard Coles)

It is that time of year again when the lovely Reverend tweets his Stations of the Cross.  I have always been stunned by his choice of photos to illustrate the message.

A Little Light Reading

There have been many times, when I was in work, that I wished I could just spend the afternoon reading my book.  It seems the reading bug has bitten again – this should been seen in a celebratory light however as I’m working from home at the moment it means falling for temptation is all too easy.  This morning I spotted a tweet from a friend:-

– and he’s right!  There is something comforting in that vintage detective fiction.  In the last day or two I’ve been reading a J.Jefferson Farjeon book from the British Library Crime Classics.

The Z Murders

Sometimes he can be a bit florid in his narrative and that made it a little difficult to get into, however the chase has started, and I don’t know why, but I am thinking it might be something a long the lines of The Thirty Nine Steps by John Buchan – we will have to wait and see – not that, that’s a bad thing I must add.  As I’m a slow reader this will take me a while yet – but I’ll let you know how I get on…

Sadly I must return to work and the book has to be left in a different room, just so I’m not tempted to pick it up for a minute/hour or two.
