Update for hitters..? 18 12 15 (12) 25 2 1


Below is a copy of the feedback I included in my blog of 18 11 10 entitled “A blog for my Japanese hitter(s)..? 18 11 10:

2018 9 19 page hits 2
2018 9 19 page hits 1 more to a total of 3
2018 9 26 page hits 1
2018 10 1 page hits 2 more to a total of 3
2018 11 9 page hits 1

To which may now be added the following,

2018 12 15 page hits from Japan                3 today

When, at the same time, as I visited my BlogSpot there was also the following fresh feedback from other countries:

2018 12 15 page hits from Singapore          1 today
2018 12 15 page hits from Turkey               1 today

Just to complete this survey there are also the hits from earlier in the summary table, as follows:

2018 12 12 page hits from Unknown Region          1
2018 12 12 page hits from France                        1

Which 2 hits correlate with actual blogs, that is, one hit each for the last 2 blogs I wrote and published on the 5th and 12th December.

Now what makes all this interesting for me is that none of my page hits for today correlate with any of my blogs actually registering fresh hits. If they had correlated with the two blogs I wrote and published last then I could have expected the numbers of hits to increase accordingly, instead of just registering the single original hits, or if they were for still older blogs I could have expected the blog titles to have been added to the list of my last two published blogs up to a maximum of 5 blogs.   

Well of course it is nice for me to think the same people return again and again to read what I have been getting up to since I last posted and if people hit a particular blog that of course is also nice to know. Like my most popular blog on this BlogSpot was one I wrote I believe in 2014 or 2015 about the most interesting person I met on my annual climbing holiday in Scotland the same year: about this American young lady and her boyfriend whom we met at this backpackers’ hostel in the Central Highlands, and then again at another similar hostel in a different part of Scotland by which time I was travelling without my wife who had returned home to leave me to climb some of the bigger hills I had left on my list of unclimbed peaks, when over a few days more we got to chat and get to know one another quite a bit better to the extent we subsequently became friends on Facebook. Perhaps the thing that made this my most popular blog was that this person who was living in the USA would every few weeks or so, or even with an interlude of 2 months return to my BlogSpot and hit maybe 200 pages of blog including this his or her favourite and when I could see it as the same person leaving their calling card as it were. Hahaha

This same blog was the one I sent to another young lady who stayed in our guest room which my wife rents out to people in the summer months because she maintains there are too few rooms for all the tourists wishing to visit our town and on the occasion in question she left me in charge to give the person the key to that separate part of our house during the two nights she stayed with us. The reason I mention this here is that I started getting hits from this person of Unknown Region thereafter which of course makes me think the person may be this young lady who incidentally has recently re-visited and left over 80 page hits in two lots on the same day..!?

Have a good day everyone and keep hitting my pages of blog: if you like to read such light-hearted banter from an aging hippie, and would like me to write more..?

No blogs without their bloggers..? 18 1 19 (16) 25 2 18

Which query came to mind just the other day as I started re-reading some old blogs from 5 to 10 years ago from the time I used to post my blogs on MySpaces..? And then with my elder grandson, A, this past month, during the time he has had this equipment to scan old transparencies, he has been engaged in scanning some of mine from the 60s, 70s and 80's during my days of film cameras, I got to reviewing the best part of my collection of old pics, and in the process ran across slides of my wedding day to A-E, my wife of 50 +years, and far better than the ones we had done in a studio on the morning of the day of the ceremony...Then one slide box containing pics of all my old girl-friends, not an enormous collection and not all pics of girls I was very serious about... So then I got to reviewing my memories of these events and situations to be impressed yet again how one's perceptions change about who we were and what we did during our lives, and because I happen to have a...

Or Fillings 16 9 14 (8) 25 1 21

We have all heard this expression and I expect those of us with a good imagination can conjure up in our minds what it must be like. But I do not fall myself into this category of person but instead in order to imagine what it must be like I have to experience something similar which is the subject of this particular blog... You see I have just returned from the dentist and her technician when at the beginning of the week I felt something akin to the condemned man on death row with his imminent demise rapidly approaching: in a very small way it has to be said but, nonetheless... And growing old is in a bigger way rather like the condemned man waiting it out on death row as little by little all the things dear to him and his belongings are stripped away... Not that I am complaining you understand but only reflecting on what it is like. Like before in these blogs I have quoted from the bard William Shakespeare: “...sans teeth sans everything.” Powerful words indeed and ...

When I last visited a Rotary Club Meeting...25 3 18

I was just 20 yrs of age plus maybe 7 months. It was subsequent to the 17th July since that was the day I first stepped onto Finnish soil. 10th of August to 30th of September to be precise, the time I was employed by Kymene Ab or Kymin Oy, the one Swedish the second its Finnish name. So some time between these two dates after Engeneer Örnhjelm, the Manager of one of the two Production Plants, one for Wood Pulp Production the other for Paper Production, invited me to accompany him to their next meeting and tell something about my background. What I told them was that I had worked at a Paper Mill, New Bury Paper Mills Ltd., belonging to the Wiggins Teape Group, for 5 years since leaving school in July 1955. A Paper Company that used Kymi's Bond Special grade of Bleached Sulphite Pulp. That I had studied Chemistry via the O.N.C. and first year H.N.C. part-time day release courses, the former the Ordinary National Certificate: in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics in the first year; ...
