Two weeks ago I answered the phone - it was just after 5.00pm.A lovely, friendly and familiar voice from Canada spoke, and told me that herself and The Man arrive here in NZ on May the 1st - TODAY!It was my dear friend Aims from bigbluebarnwest.blogspot.com letting me know that she was escaping from the Alberta Snow (yes, they were still getting snow in mid April) and coming here for most of May. Mickle was truely a "stunned mullet".
Explanation - the Mickle and Aims have spoken over telephone and interwebby devices at length so we now know each others voices but to meet!!!!!!
On this, my first attempt with bloggers latest recreation, I am struggling. I haven't fathomed the new linking method (why change something that worked????) Zebby Cat has headed off to His bed and I am thinking thoughts of Wordpress ..........
Zeb might claim it as his bed but it was mine (a present from my dear sister) first, Of course this means nothing to a Cat!
Meanwhile those Canadians will arrive here in under 3 hours - arriving up in Auckland. Fingers crossed that the weather forecast is right so they will get sunshine (Aims and The Man - put on sunblock!! Yes, ears too!!!!)

Oh how lucky you are, I love meeting bloggers, it is like seeing people that you have know for years. As for new blogger Hmmmmmm..........
Have a great time. Diane
New Blogger is giving me photo fits. I had the hardest time getting the pictures to load where I wanted them. Of course blogger doesn't care what we mere users think (and Wordpress isn't any easier for photos, in my opinion, having used it for business).
Have fun with Aims and The Man!
What great fun! I wish we could get there sometime.
Now, that's a thought!!......why don't we all go visit Mickle and Zebby Lol
We had an afternoon of bloggers at the home of one of the bloggers on my reading list, a couple of years ago. I think it was meant to be an on going event but sadly it fell in a hole as no one else put their hand up to be the next bloggie home to visit.
Give Aims a hug from me too :-) xx
I've not been on blogger for ages - life is just too chaotic but I think I'll have to see what they've done to it. I use Windows livewriter to write the blog and publish from there, so I wonder if it will make any difference.
Love to all of you, and purrrrrrrrrrr to Zebby. xxx
Having just come back friom my second blogger meet-up, I understand your excitement completely, Mickle. :-) Have a wonderful time with the Aims and fingers crossed for sunshine for you all.
I'm steadfastly resisting moving to the new Blogger until I'm forced to. I find it user-unfriendly and very hard to read (I have poor sight). I too am toying with moving to WordPress and already have a back-up copy of my blog on there, just in case....
Your back!!
My friend is on wordpress, but I find it a real pain! xx
hAVE A GREAT TIME!
Wonderful!
Maybe one of these days I'll come knocking as well. It has always been a dream to visit Australia and New Zealand.
Enjoy!
That is exciting news!
Hope you had a wonderful time ......

Nuts in May
