What Is Going On?

Me about 30 years ago - I still have that scarf!!!!

Just a quick post this morning to say:

WHAT IS WRONG WITH BLOGGER??????!!!!!!!!!!!!

Several times I've tried to leave comments for fellow bloggers and one minute the box is there then the next...GONE! 

Am I going mad? 
Am I imagining things? 
Am I being shut out by the powers-that-be behind Blogger?
Am I paranoid? 
Is anyone listening to me?

Oh well, no doubt after a nice hot soothing drink all this will seem like just a storm in a teacup!

Have a Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Loving the movie clip and Franรงoise Hardy links over at Kylie's. Groovy!
Have a look.

  1. Blogger is being very squiffy at the moment - I have had it freeze my Mac (yes - it crashed my Mac!!) a few times recently - usually when uploading photos. Maybe they are working on new stuff? As for comments - I have learned to copy what I have typed before trying to publish it, because yes, things get eaten and disappear and I hate retyping, so often just click away.

    So it's not just you...you can relax. :)

    You know what - when I look at photos of me 30 years ago I get depressed at how I've aged - so I've stopped looking back.

    1. Yes, very squiffy indeed, Wendz!
      I'm using a Mac too, maybe thats part of the problem?
      But I do like this feature of being able to reply to each comment, so it's not all bad, Blogger!
      Thanks, Wendz.

  2. Not just you Sue, Blogger made some "updates" which have caused chaos with commenting. I couldnt even comment on my own Blog until I switched to a "full page" comment box. I still can't comment on several of my friends Blogs. GRRR! indeed!

  3. Hi Sue, glad you enjoyed the movie/Francoise Hardy link. Wasn't she gorgeous. You were gorgeous too, thirty years ago and I'm sure you still are. It's not easy getting older, I am struggling with it too (how shallow of me)

    btw I am also finding it impossible to comment on some blogs at the moment, so its not just you...

    1. Hi Kylie,
      Such lovely comments!
      Yours is one of the blogs where the comment box just disappears when I try to type in it!! Very strange! I'll keep trying because I loved the movie clip and song.
      Thanks for dropping by.
      BTW it has been freezing here!

  4. I love that photo - it's one of my favourites! Hey, in fact I took that photo !!!!
    Blogger is always being a pain in the you know what... I don't tend to have many issues with Wordpress, so I'm glad I made the switch.
    I hope the blogger folk get sorted soon !!!!!!!

    1. Ha Ha, yes indeed! The tea gardens in Cheddar :)

      I might investigate the Wordpress option if Blogger can't get their act together!
      Thanks for dropping by.

    1. Hi Helen,

      Unfortunately I tried to get Chrome today but it says my operating system isn't supported, so I hope thats not the only remedy :(

      Thanks for dropping by and give those boys a big cuddle from me!

    1. Oh Penny,

      I'm sure these things are sent to try us!!
      I still can't leave comments on some blogs and my own layout seems to be playing silly beeps today as well. Watch out Blogger or I'm going over to Wordpress!!

      Thanks for stopping by and hope your laptop recovers soon. :)

    1. Thanks Lou,

      I think I've managed to solve the problem by subscribing to 'post comment (atom)' whatever that is, adding the blog to my bookmarks and then I can leave a comment! Crazy, long winded way to do it I know but it seems to work.

      Nice to hear from you :)
