After losing another few hours spent perusing,I am finding that I seem to spend more time reading these blogs than reviewing them! However it is time enjoyably spent, the next blog is one again that I have never visited before.

Cocktailer

I have to admit that I was intrigued by the title of the blog, and by the description given of a Brit living in Amsterdam. I didn’t really know what to expect so as always kept an open mind.

I read of mice and cats, of trips home to share Christmas with friends, of New Year on the beach, wrapped up warm of course, on a Dutch Island called Terschelling, accompanied by lovely photographs.

I read of the person at work who is giving her a hard time by making her feel bad, I wanted to leave a comment on that one!! Though I didn’t as I haven’t with the others, though I shall go back and do so later

I liked reading this blog, laughing with her at the mouse adventures, feeling with her through the work thing, and walking the beach with her at New Year. I went further in to the blog and read more and then more, addictive? Yes I would say so, I felt comfortable and at ease, like picking up a new book by a favourite author, you don’t know what the pages will contain, but you know it will be worth reading. Give it a go, but don’t blame me if you lose an hour or two

This time it is the turn of the ladies, having erm reviewed, for want of a better word, the blogs of two gentlemen. I felt it was time to give the ladies a shout, being all unbiased and all.

Don’t want you thinking I am rooting for the men As if!! Anyway, as I have said before this is a tough task, who to choose to fix my eagle eye upon? So I let my fingers do the choosing and I aint telling you how!

Wifey

Now I was all set for a blog that went on about ‘The Husband’ you know the type, the blog title is wife no4, and the title of the second blog in this lady’s repertoire is titled selfishhastheycome.

I never judge a book by its cover however and settled in for the long read! My intention was to read wifeno4 first and then the other one, but, I was there reading the first one and this is what happened Hahahahahahahahaha, Oh my, hahahahahahahaha. I had to take a break my sides were aching!
So I found myself flipping from one to the other.

This is one seriously funny lady, with words like ‘dismaynessnessness’ she really cracked me up with her telling off of the universe, I could go on , but really you should go read it for yourself.

But she has a serious side too, yet the serious side I found was written with as much wit, if self depreciating, as the funny side, a tad more self sarcasm, a little bit more self analysis, but all the time laughing at herself even as she purged herself of memories painful, of thoughts that had kept her down. As I read the second blog, it seemed like I was accompanying a friend on a journey of self-discovery. I read in silence some parts, only to literally burst out laughing a few sentences later.

I will be honest, after the week I have had, I could not have picked a better blog to read to get me laughing, this is a blog worth visiting when you need a good pick me up. It is worth having a look at even if you don’t.
