I am similarly bad at emailing / replying to emails and writing letters!<br /><br />I love the "never arrive with you arms the same length" phrase - that's one that I'm passionate about (it actually really bothers me when people tell me not to bring anything!)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965300148218903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-24189821339690178132014-05-16T08:17:02.528-02:302014-05-16T08:17:02.528-02:30I think its a personal decision about whether or n...I think its a personal decision about whether or not to respond to comments.

It can be very time consuming and often there isn't much to add to the commentator's remarks. I do appreciate them, though, and read every one. Your blog is different from Sparrow Chat in that it is much more chatty and conversational. I tend to just complain about the state of the world in general and politicians in particular.<br />I think we have to accept each blogger's time is limited, and respond when we can. Equally, no-one should be put out if they make a general comment and no response is forthcoming.<br /><br />As for the photos, I leave that advice to those of your commentators who are wiser than I.R J Adamshttp://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-61458567622821702262014-05-13T13:25:34.225-02:302014-05-13T13:25:34.225-02:30Your blog invites interesting comments.

When I started blogging it was not routine in my small circle to respond to comments because we were visiting each others blogs regularly and had ongoing conversations that way. I rather like that way of doing things because it gets me "out and about" to visit and see what others are up to.
