The Thing You Do
That thing you do, of finding the words of a stranger and looking only for points of contact. Well maybe you don't do it, but I do.
And so when I found furtive's blog, just now, I was struck by the things we have in common. The drive to share whatever is uppermost in our minds and the accompanying worry about whether this is "appropriate" or not. But mostly the urge to splurge.
I have no idea whether we have anything else in common (apart from miscarriage, which is what prompted me to read her blog in the first place) (I hope it's all right to mention that) (I think it probably is), but I read her blog and think, kindred spirit. You are not me, so you may not agree. But you should still go and have a look.
Incidentally, she has also written an interesting post on the subject of meeting people in cyberspace. I've never really thought of it like that.

apropos of nothing in particular, I remember at some point in your blog you said you used to like or still like listening to Baker Street over and over and over again. I do too.
Aha!
Yes. I do.
'Have a look' - oh, Clare.
But we do come here without such posts, you are an interesting person.
I've read "furtive" for many years and she's constantly under-selling herself, and her writing skills.
I think that's what attracts me to most of my regular reads (yourself included), you never know what you'll get as it's all "now" in the bloggers mind.
