They Also Surf Who Only Stand And Wait

Sites For Sore Eyes

Just thought I'd post links to some of the more interesting sites around the www, all of which are on my own Favourites. In no particular order, they are: Al's Photo Blog, Lotus Reads, Travellin' Mama, Biz Stone (always a nice take on tech issues), Dance With The Sun, the Anglo-Indian Portal (not just because the webmaster posts a lot of my own writing, but because he likes to give the technology of presentation a nudge as well), NirmalGhosh.com for some great photographs, ravings, cravings, shavings & leavings... and, for movie buffs, there is Movies That Make You Think which is my school friend Jugu Abraham's thought-provoking blog. Happy surfing, folks.
(Postscript: if my post title sounds familiar, you're right, it's a twist on a line from John Milton's famous sonnet `On His Blindness'.)

Thanks very much for the link, David! Much appreciated. I just caught Lotus's earlier today, when I was checking out your latest post about Ditchburn House (only a few blocks from my own, less interesting house) and it looks like quite a read as well.

Oh -- I'm looking into the name of the proprietor for you. (You know I'm a stickler for accuracy!)

My pleasure, Allan,

It's always nice to help direct discerning readers to sites that they might enjoy.

Strange that I was so close to your place when I took the shot at Ditchburn House. Please do let me know the name of the proprietor - I'll correct it if I've got it wrong.

Cheers

David

David;

A regular visitor to my Blog (who's discovered the joys of your Blog from the link that I have there) just emailed me to let me know that the link you have here isn't working. My site address is kind of strange so it's no wonder, but here it is for those who might be interested:

All these links look so interesting, David. Thanks for sharing, I'll be sure to check them out. Thanks also for mentioning my blog, appreciate it.

Hi Allan,

Sorry about that. I have now fixed the link (and tested it) and it works fine now, going directly to your Welcome page. Many thanks for the heads-up.

Hope you and Tammy enjoy the weekend.

Cheers

David

Dear Lotus,

Glad you are enjoying the blog and the links I provided.

I just thought it would be nice to share information about the sites and blogs I have discovered and that I visit regularly.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers

David

You're doing good work here. Not only has Google picked you up (more than once), but I get my site mentioned, too.

Darn, but Blogger won't let me post a pic, so take a look at this.

Can't be bad!

That's V E R Y nice, El Tel,

Thanks for the link - it's good to know people read our stuff and keep coming back.

That's the acid test, isn't it!
