Did I ever tell you about my one, tiny, shining Art moment? I was watching University Challenge feeling my usual inadequate self when suddenly they started showing an inch squared from a painting and asked the teams to identify the painter, and to my complete amazement - and the utter astonishment of the people around me - I got every single one right. To this day it's still one of my finest memories: I mostly bunked off Art History classes and was due to be right royally stung for it by the college :) I grew up thinking I was going to be an artist until I realised being able to woo buyers was more important than ability to paint and I just lost interest. Hmm... funny how things work out. The interview you did was Paul was very interesting by the way!

It was nice that it happened once, but I can't really get worked up about whether it ever happens again. I suppose we all have our own complicated reasons for blogging, and in my case, the desire to attract lots of readers, as opposed to a few dedicated [or, possibly, just plain odd] readers, has never been part of the story - being a niche product is absolutely fine by me! Thanks, Charlotte. It was nice that it happened once, but I can’t really get worked up about whether it ever happens again.

Opposites attract, or something like that ... ;-) You were there in my top 3, anyway, even though I almost never post fewer than 3,000 words at a time, and find other people’s comments on my site vaguely alarming.

But please vote for me anyway.

Good point about writing everything though... I just like pre-empting possible counter-arguments. It must be a vice. Good luck! :) Thanks Charlotte,
