Still about

I have neglected writing this blog for four months. I seem to write when I am mad about something or wish to vent my spleen. Thankfully I haven't mainly because I am too lazy. There is plenty to grumble about yet I just cannot get the motivation to actually compose something. I read very few blogs. One I regularly follow is Lisa King's. She writes sincerely from the heart about the dramatic changes in her family's life,following the death of her son Noah and the untimely and unexpected death of her husband , Aaron four months later. Then today I read a news article from a Fairfax website about the new phenomenon called "Mummy"bloggers. Apparently there are hundreds of women writing blogs about everyday happenings, building up a wide audience. Apparently marketing and advertising people have woken up to this and offering $$$ to bloggers to write glowing mentions of products. Yuck! These advertorials are a turnoff for me and avoid them. I believe that one or two celebrities were caught out endorsing a well-known holiday destination for cash and it transpires that neither has been there. Robin L.
