Vistors from afar...

Ok, ok, so have been tracking my blog and who visits and where they were coming from. Was a bit chuffed, especially since it's really for family and friends but at the same time I did manage to attract a couple from other countries. Not sure how often they visited or what they thought. And guess I shouldn't even get too excited about the single visitors.

Felt even better when I got a really anonymous comments saying that they stayed to read a couple of posts and it was cool :-)

Coverting the converted

So I have added one more convert to the world of blogging. I have a neighbour who started to read my blog awhile back and while I am not sure that my blog makes for the type of edifying reading that he is always used to, yes, he decided that he needed to start his blog.

I am not sure if all my friends understand the satisfaction that one can actually get from a blog but it really is a nice release - of thoughts, sometimes of frustrations, sometimes of everything and sometimes of nothing. It doesn't really matter if everyone reads, or even if no one reads. It' s an expression of self, and sometimes that's all that matters.

So here's to blogging - I wish you well Mr. C.

My first...

OK, ok, so this is officially my first blog.
Granted I am hung over from Saskia's party last night, sleepy because it took me two hours to get into my house (long story) but I am here. Have always been curious about blogs but was just too lazy/nervous/busy to try. Nervous because it just seemed so public!
I was actually planning on starting one when Ashes and I make the "big move" to Ghana, however now Nynke is giving this workshop I really don't have any excuses to delay anymore.
Have decided to call it "Just Us" simply because I would like to keep this blog to share with family and friends our "adventures" in Ghana. I am sorry I didn't start one when I moved to Holland from Jamaica, but guess it's never too late.
Looking forward to posting more,
DC
