Thing 2: Borrowing cups of sugar

Thing 2 has been about meeting the neighbours, and stopping by to say hello.

And my revelation for the week has been blog comments. Although I quite happily jump about reading (and appreciating) blogs, as a non-blogger, the whole comments thing has just seemed a bit weird and not entirely necessary.  In amongst the valid questions and interesting debates that occasionally appear at the bottom of a blog post, you usually see a lot of comments going ‘Yep. I agree. Cool post’, or something equally profound, and I’ve always kind of felt ‘why bother?’ Well, newsflash. These comments are not aimed at you (or me), dear lurking reader, they’re a show of support for the blogger themselves, very often, no doubt, from other bloggers – a connection, an excuse to say hello, a word of encouragement, a way of letting people know ‘I’m reading this and I value it’.

So I’ve started posting comments.  A little thing, but a real penny-dropping moment for me!
