Waving to my Pattycam Watchers, the internet today seems very slow, so I just leave a 'nice pic' up on the site instead of having my fingers crossed the latest image uploads. It also frees my time up so that I can complete my washing load, and sort out my home, after being away for a week travelling. My site has been online now for over 6 years, and daily I converse with people from all over the world, eg, Usa, New Zealand, England, Ireland,and Canada, as well as most of the main states in Australia. Some people are retired and exploring the world of the internet, others are housebound through illness or injury, others run a small business and chat in between customers. I have met a lot of my Watchers, and they have all become good mates, via the net. We share our lives, and at times, our deepest dreams. Sometimes we simply live our busy lives and only manage to wave and strike a friendly punch-in-the-arm, the way of siblings and mates. We console each other over the impending death of a beloved pet, we help each other with technical computer things, we email or chat when it suits us. It has become a living, breathing, real community. As I write this, someone privately chats to me and tells me that she has at last updated her Blog. I nagged her to do so this morning, the whole beauty of the net is that it is updated and fresh content daily. I am so proud that she has taken the time to do so. An American now living in Australia, she blogs her world to keep her own family up-to-date on her new life Down Under. I am a good nag. Lol.
