17th April, 2009 - Turkish Delight

As some of you will know, I moved this blog over to Blogger from Yahoo 360. One of the nice things about Blogger is that I have been able to add a bit of HTML code to the site to track who reads the blog. (I said that last sentence as if I actually have any idea what it means - I did that to sound impressive and am now inserting this parenthesis as an afterthought as I realise what a plonker I am)

Mostly, tracking the readers is a bit of a sad affair, since it confirms what I have suspected for some time, namely that only me and one of mates ever visits. I would have been better off inviting Laughing Boy out for a cup of tea and a natter. It would have been healthier I am sure for my mental health and psychological well-being to enjoy the companionship of another human being, rather than to spend my life tapping away at a soulless keyboard and sending my words echoing out into the void. (In Cyberspace no-one can hear you blog).

However, interestingly, I have discovered that I seem to have a regular reader from Turkey. I find this a bit perplexing. Generally I find it perplexing that anyone at all would ant to read this, but it is downright weird that one regular visitor comes from Ankara. Is he/she an ex pat? Are they improving their vernacular Scots for a business visit? I want to know who they are and why they come here. If you are reading this let me know. Please.
