Blog post
Looking at the Blog dashboard for this very underused blog site I noticed that somehow one of my posts was looked by 10 people, bots ect
How is that possible?
I am sure that as I don't post very often on this Blog that the bots and any humans out there wrote this Blog off years ago as a dead Blog not worth following.
I suppose by posting this Blog entry they will think that the Blog is alive again!
Who knows? maybe it might get 11 views......!!!!
Learning
Do you find it easy to learn new stuff from books?
I find that I have to break the learning down into 15 minute chunks, otherwise I find that I loose concentration and start to loose what I am reading. This must also be something that must get harder if you have not done a lot of book learning for some time.
I wonder if the brain needs to get itself back up to speed in doing book learning, so I suppose that if you are doing book learning often its easier, not Shure if age has anything to do with it either, just an idle thought.
Now test are I thin another thing that also needs practice, that I am sure of, one so you can pull the information out of your head and the second thing is getting control of your nerves while doing the test.
I have a test soon where you have to answer 60 multiple questions in 90 minutes with the added joy that some of the questions have more than one answer needed!
Or the questions ask for the correct no answer!
Real Ale
So a note to me.
Today I am drink a ale called "Old Speckled Hen" its 5% and a nice easy drink to have while blogging or just listening to music.

Fat boy Slim concert
So I was lucky yesterday to go to the Wembley Area in London to see Fatboy Slim in concert and I am very pleased to say that his set was very good, up to date and well worth the time and effort it took for me to travel to London and also to stay in a hotel overnight, which is something that I find hard to do.
The set that was played was a mixture of old crowd favourites and also new ways of playing these tracks with new material, the great news is that this concert was filmed so you will at some stage be able to watch it.
One thingsomall in all a great night out. to bear in mind is that I filmed the very star of the set some two or three minutes and the camera does not capture the sound 100% the base that I felt more than heard just cannot be captured, I have heard several of my friends remark the same thing.

Three in a Row
So I have somehow managed to write three blog posts in a row, (this could be a record for me, not that I have any way of checking) which these days must be some kind of record (and I do also like to repeat myself, well? why not?).
Hopefully this sudden activity has caused the Google system to realise that this blog has not died and that it is sort of active for me at least in the last part of the year.
Sad that I am also finding myself reading some of the older posts to find out what I was doing or thinking of back then. Also just how old this blog is.
What is more amazing to me is that Google have not done there normal trick of shutting down something that they brought.
I have seen a post that did list all the projects that Google released that shut down some time later.....

Oh no!
following yesterdays post I looked up my 1 follower of this blog, and it appears that he has died sometime in late December of 2020, this is very sad as i did like to follow his blog and his pictures on Flicker..
It also shows just how often I looked at this blog and his.... (I have said else where how I have not done much blogging)
So I am sad that I did not know of his passing,
I do hope that Linda his wife is okay and that has come to terms with what has happened and can remember the good times, especially the trips that they did together, as there are lots of pictures to look at.
Although I suppose that it will be painful so close to losing him to look back at the pictures, but hopefully in time it will just bring back good memory's.

My Blog Follower
Somehow way back in the early days this blog got a follower,
I was pleased that someone found me and decided to follow me. I did the good thing of also following them , but what was also great I like his blog content and the pictures that he posts and that he has an interest in Scifi the same as me, he is more into collecting, while I am mainly into reading about it.
It sadden me to learn that his health is not the good. In fact since his last posts I have not been able to find out how he is doing, I hope that he is well. (if I find out will update this post)
So thanks you dear follower Traveller28 for your time and pictures.
November
Wow,
Look at me another blog post in a new month, looking at when I first started this blog, it turns out that I started sometime in 2005!
So from 2005 and its now 2021 so somehow I have been doing this blog poorly for over 16 years!
As a Google project it's a surprise that it has not yet been shutdown. How many of their other projects do you know that have been running that long that are not part of their main business?
I don't think there are very many.
I wounder if there is a way to find out just how many active blogs there now are on Blogger it would be great to know.
Perhaps they use the data in all the blogs in some way and thats the reason why it has not been shut down or that it does not take many resources to run it, who knows? I am just glad that it is still working and that I can when I want to just dump Odd Thoughts from my height desk on to it when the mood strikes me.
