When it comes to advertisements on blogs I’m torn.  Part of me feels that I put a huge amount of work into the blog.  A lot of people read it and (I think, I hope) enjoy it.  So a part of me feels that maybe I could make a little bit of money from it.  Others do after all.  Plenty of the blogs I read have small discreet adverts on them and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.  So I think, just go for it, see what happens.

But I am haunted by a scene from one of my favourite movies of all time.

And I agree with Garth…..

Is putting ads on a blog a legitimate way of making some money from something you work very hard at? Or is it just selling out?

I’d love to hear you opinions!  You’re the readers after all.

*  Thursdays are a very special day in this house because Thursday is the day our organic veg box gets delivered.

Because until recently I worked on Thursdays the delicious joy of unpacking the goodies was Himself’s.

But now it is mine again.  Is it sad that I geek out so much about fresh fruit and veggies? Is it tragic that two heads of corn this week made me smile?  Well I don’t care.  I love it anyway!

*  Readers, I know I blog about my cats too much.  I’m aware that as well as being a sad vegetable lady I am also a mad cat lady but again, I don’t care.  Here is Aurora’s new “thing”.  It makes me smile.

The light is the reflection of the sun from Himself’s camera lens.  What Aurora doesn’t understand is there is only a ten minute window each day when the sun is in the right place and there is an awful lot of angry mewing when the light is no longer there.

*  It is no secret that I am slightly addicted to Home and Away (hell, I’m really setting myself up as a tragic loser here aren’t I? ).  Every August Home and Away has a month long break in the UK (I think so we don’t catch up with Australia).  But now it’s September.  And it’s back.  Woo-hoo!!!  (Obviously it is still the same storylines repeated ad infinitum just with different charcters and it has been thus in the 20 years or so I’ve been watching it, but still…)

*  Finally after six months of “meaning to do it” I’ve reorganised my pantry.  The feeling of accomplishment is so much more satisfying than anything I’ve ever achieved in a desk job.

How many tins?  Clearly I am expecting nuclear war.

*  New term, new yoga students, new life – learning to redefine myself one day at a time.  More on this at a later date I think.
