Home again, home again, jiggity jig!


Well, the sixtieth birthday certainly seemed to be a success to the only person who mattered and that was the birthday girl! It was a very busy trip to Adelaide, and I didn't get to see anyone other than family members and people who were at the party! I might go back again some time next year and spend some time...maybe!! I also didn't get any reading done. I took four books with me, and only read one chapter of one of them!

The trip wasn't too bad. We had to have pretty frequent breaks because we had a 10 year old and a 1 year old in the car with us. Today we even had time to stop of at a place in Ararat that I have been thinking about going to for age - Gum San - a museum about the Chinese immigrants who came to Australia during the Gold Rushes in the 1850's.

And in answer to my own question, I have just logged into Bloglines, and I currently have a grand total of 1867 feeds to read! Eeek! It's a pity I have to go to work tomorrow isn't it!

  1. Welcome back Marg.
    The problem with blogging is reading those of others isn't it? I have to admit that when I was away for a week or so a couple of months back I just drew a line in the sand and moved on!

  2. Yes, I've done that before. I don't really like to, but it will take me a week to catch up again!

  3. Wow! I get totally spastic if my reader has more than 100. I'm with Kerrie - clear the sand!

  4. Welcome home, Marg! When I came back from my vacation last month I had quite a few blog posts in my Google Reader. I did end up marking most as read because it was making me antsy having so many and I knew I'd never catch up. It's hard not to feel guilty doing that though.

  7. Holy Cow!! You must subscribe to a lot of blogs! :) I was gone all weekend and had 200+ and I'm still catching up. Glad you had a good trip, though.
