I am astonished - well all right then, surprised, that there are some hardy souls who are prepared to start with episode one of bike. I read it through just under a year ago, which means there's about three hundred more episodes than there was then. It took me a couple of days or more. To read 463 episodes, is a major undertaking. I wish them luck, when I was last informed it was about 600,000 words and longer than Tolkien or Tolstoy.

Have you noticed that the list of users now includes everyone? It's a much better idea than the previous shorter list, although I'm not sure about being called a user--it implies some sort of addiction. Oh, maybe it isn't so inappropriate.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this column. Julie has an unfortunate habit of upsetting transsexuals, and I'm not sure she breaks it with this one. See link below:

For those interested in my ramblings elsewhere, Maddy Bell has just posted Whatever Next part 19, of my Gaby fanfic. I think it's quite good, but then I wrote it.(Some days my modesty is overwhelming)8)

Just in case readers are confused by which dormouse is which:

Whilst I accept I might well have post holiday blues, I have suspected that my stories are not being as well received as they were, despite that fact that I believe the quality of my writing has been fairly constant.

I am therefore seriously thinking I will stop posting.

Goodness, some of you missed me, I'm overwhelmed. I had a nice week away, and although the weather could have been better - one day was a wash out - I enjoyed myself. I walked miles bird watching, and was reasonably rewarded. I teamed up with a couple who hadn't hired a car, so we went off most days looking for spots to watch for new species of birds. Andy was better at it than I was - I haven't done much of it for years, so didn't get my eye in, until the end of the week.

Has anyone noticed the hits counter at the bottom of the page? It's now over 4 million. I think that congratulations are in order for our super web mistress and her team of elves, I mean helpers.

Congratulations Erin, I look forward to the next million.

hugs,

Angharad.
