I have seen a great idea at 365 to 42's blog, so I hope he doesn't mind that I'm borrowing it.So all you lurkers out there, i.e. people who visit but don’t leave a comment, I have a little questionnaire for you - and also for the regular commenter's (because you know how nosy I am!) :
1. Who are you and where are you from? (mainly for the lurkers)
2. What will you be doing today?
3. What do you wish you had planned instead?
4. What’s the thing you’re looking forward to most?

Being quizzed on a conference call about a report I wrote, putting together an agenda for a workshop on the business goals of a website, and celebrating our 18 months anniversary with chocolates and wine and mince pies. Oh, and sticking the YS's lego man's arms back on, and reading with OS.

Letty, thanks for your comment, sorry to remind you of your experience.
Akelamalu, if it snows tonight then you won't have to go to work tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteFi, thanks for playing. We are all talking about snow here and with you it is mid summer!
Nick, OK now I'm jealous! Have a great time :)
Jo, I will pop over to view your plans later.
Bobo, I'm jealous of your no.4! Hope you have a brilliant time. I'm sure you will;)
Gosh sweetie, will think about it. Yes, its funny,all those silent visitors you get.
ReplyDeleteI'm Malc, of course, from Westray, Orkney
ReplyDeleteI'll be feeding and cleaning out the pigs and hens, letting the horses out into the field, then getting inside to carry on rewiring the kitchen.
Trip to the cliffs on the west side of the island to watch the gannets. Then take the dogs for a run on the beach and spend time with the pigs.
Oh heck! Too much choice. Mrs Malc gets back from south next week. I've got tickets for Scotland v Ireland rugby in March. Christmas (really!). Our pork goes into the shops for the first time in January. David Cameron's face when he loses the next election. Tough one.

Hey Suburbia!
ReplyDeleteI often feel like asking my lurkers the same thing! A lot of them are from the same state as myself. So, i figure their interested in me because of the close vicinity or maybe they know me! I do wish they would leave a comment!
