One year older, one year wiser

As the kids say, OMG OMG - I've only gone and missed a key anniversary. Yep, this blog was one year old as of March 2nd. Dang.

This blog has been theraputic for me, allowing me to find my feet in this odd brave, non-English-speaking new world I 've found myself in, and it has allowed me to keep contact with the old one. Recently, the posts have been fewer. Does this mean I'm more at home now?

Maybe.

Certainly, the newbie "Wow, look at this crisp packet, isn't it peculiar" phase has passed. And I've lost any appetite for boosting hits at this site. If I may lapse into a little French, the raison d'etre has changed for this blog. Now, I'm not quite sure what the raison is for it, it may be completely d'etred, but T-Tales is still a loyal friend, and one that I am happy to return to when my other blogs are not the right place for my thoughts. Don't wish to sound pretentious, but, dear readers, you have a right to know what's what.

So what to expect for the next 12 months at T-Tales? A little more introspection and maybe fewer posts, and more of the kids. Don't say you weren't warned.

Thanks very much for this. It's exactly the kind of thing - plus news and pictures of the kids - that we (as your constituents) want from the blog. But if you feel less of a need to use the blog as therapy because you're happier and more settled, that's great too. We'll just go with the flow. We liked the photo, too, of you (again) surrounded by women and children!

We've just spotted Yoshie at the other end of the photo too!

Or maybe that isn't Yoshie...

No worries! News and pics of everyone is what we want. Glad you are feeling more settled too and really pleased things have worked out for you guys over there.

Long may it last xxx
