Invasion of personal space?


Something has come to my attention lately that I was completely unaware of.


As I do not get many comments left on my blog I assumed that no one but my family read it - this is what the purpose of it is - to keep my family and friends back home in touch with what I am doing to eliminate thousands of emails that I get told off for not sending.


Now most of them have openly admitted that they hardly check it but every so often will check that I am ok. Understandable - I mean they lead normal lives! So really, I do it for fun, to create a release and for something to do.


With the lack of interest I did not expect anybody to be reading it, especially when I think it must be incredibly boring for people who don't know me.


I got a bit of a fright about 2 weeks ago when I was left an anonymous comment (which went unpublished - not really the right thing to put on a blog), which was obviously left from someone who I know and who knows about the situation I am in. Why they didn't leave their name beats me, but I have a fair idea of who it was but had NO idea they were reading what I would call my 'dribble'.


At the school carnival I was then informed by a lovely friend from Uberfoods that 2 of their regulars had talked to them, mentioning the 2 blogs that 2 girls write. They then concluded who it was and asked us. Another customer came in and told them that one of the girls (myself) was making a decision between Suzhou and Hong Kong.


Now this is definitely NOT someone I know, or have heard of before (she told me the name of the person) so I am am left wondering - who IS actually reading my blog?


And me being the ICT savvy that I am (NOT) how and why did they find my blog?


Now I am not stupid and realise that these things are available on the web easily and I did create a blog - but as I said, for friends and family back home - I find it a bit weird that people read it and there is no trace of them afterwards.


I don't know it could just be me, but I almost feel pressured to write more interesting things.


But to be honest I have another blog that I write on more than this that actually deals with a major issue that I am dealing with and on this blog it is the only place I can actually write things that won't offend anyone, as when I write this one I have to think about who might be reading it and what I have to omit from it.


Invasion of personal space or not, I will keep posting - very wary of who might be reading this and will warn you that it may not be as regular, as I will be trying to keep my other blog on a daily basis.


Hmmmmmm - a bit too serious today!


Love to you all back home over the seas, especially you -Grandy! xo
