There's also a chance I will move my blog there! No time right now.

But I remember the one time with salt water being so...damn...salty!<BR/><BR/>I love your frozen bolas picture.<BR/>Reminds me of the time my boss went diving in his nearly frozen pool in a wet suit to fix some crack or some such. The adrenaline rush to his heart scared the bejeezes out of him.

The comment thing is the blog host's policy, I'm afraid - the only way round that is for me to move to Blogger - I've been seriously thinking about it in recent days :-). Well - there's also a guestbook on my blog, but that's not the same as leaving a comment on a post. I know how you feel, as sometimes I get on someone else's blog and it says "only if you are registered with Blogger" or something. I think "how dare it!" and then realize I can hardly complain ;-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1154204590405864192006-07-29T21:23:00.000+01:002006-07-29T21:23:00.000+01:00Just read your sidebar - I am quiet no longer - I ...Just read your sidebar - I am quiet no longer - I have wifi on the boat woooohooooooo -<BR/><BR/>Now I shall sit down and read about your current adventurekatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171639687313605467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1154203465769419232006-07-29T21:04:00.000+01:002006-07-29T21:04:00.000+01:00Diddums - in case you come back to read this - I w...<B>Diddums</B> - in case you come back to read this - I went over to visit your site and was going to leave a comment but it insists that I register and log in before I can.

Maybe it's got something to do with the heatwave - and when the thunderstorms roll round, they switch off altogether (well we don't want our readers electrocuted). Or maybe they decided I'm too weird, or too boring, or I said something offensive without realizing or... no, no, no, that way madness lies. Just enjoy writing your blog. :-)<BR/><BR/>Came here from Kate's Itisi blog, just in case you wondered. She reaches out and touches somebody, and I spread like a germ.

Many are on holiday, though I suspect some are feeling a bit uninspired by blogging lately. <BR/><BR/>It comes in waves. Ahhhahahahahaha!<BR/><BR/>See what I did there? Waves?

I've been getting lot less comments than usual so I'm not sure whether everyone's on holiday, or they're all bored stiff.<BR/><BR/>With regard to the picture I was amazed that Maggie managed to catch that instant (while warmly wrapped up back on the beach).
