Perception and reality
The main joy of blogging is corresponding with sympathetic people and the characters of those people develop, starting from the pseudonyms which they choose and progressing with each post they write or photograph which they display. The reality can be quite different from the imagined persona, as I discovered when I met the charming King Lear and the delightful eldest Miss Lear last week. The King did not have a long white flowing beard, he wasn't deranged, nor did he wear a kilt. His Scottish accent wasn't that strong either. Anyway, we had a very jolly (soft) drink and he left me with Miss Lear to discuss common interests. This weekend I'm going to Brussels to stay with friends and am meeting Eurodog. I imagine she'll arrive with many dogs. On va voir. Off to the highlands next week. Back 17 September.

Charming? Moi? TOOOO kind!
Careful, Ms Whisperer, or we shall all be turning up in Winchester for a weekend of wild debauchery and rowdy partying, to show the 'myspace youngsters' that they can't have it all their own way..!
I'm really going to have to hold a Whispering blogging party next year. It could be like one of those children's games where you have to pin the name onto the person
Excellent idea!
Have an excellent time. I'm off to SW France myself next week for a couple of semaines and can hardly wait. All that Bordeaux vin accompanying entrecote steaks with sauce Roquefort ...
A bientot.
Bonnes vacances, Anon, et...sante!
Isn't it odd? I don't expect to meet any blogging pals for real - I'd worry that it would ruin the virtual fantasy.
Just read eurodog's blog and saw that you had met. Have a great time in the Highlands. Buon divertimento.
