Me rounding up alfresco in the garden today
I haven't posted this week but not because I haven't anything to write about. I do but it'll have to wait because I've been spending the week seeking out new Scottish bloggers. Well new to me anyway...
This week I am the guest editor of the Scottish Roundup and I set myself the mission of making the roundup as diverse as I could with at least fifty percent of the blogs to be featured to be ones that have never been included in the Roundup before. I think I managed. In fact, I know I did. Hurrah!
This exercise has been important to me for a number of reasons:
1. I think that you need to refresh your blogroll regularly- too many bloggers give up, get fed up, or just lose their mojo- you've got to seek out new stuff.
2. I like a political blog as much as the next naked ape, but the Roundup is often exclusively political and I like to shake it up a little when I edit.
3. I like meeting new bloggers because on the whole they are an interesting bunch, so hello to everyone I met online this week. I've come away from the whole thing with some firm new favourites.
4. Sometimes people put pics of their dogs up and that's always good.
Read the Round Up here and if you own, rent, have feudal rights to or have a freehold on a Scottish blog then nominate yourself for next weeks roundup.

And here's a pic of my dog.

Take a bow, Misssy.
Alfresco in Scotland always involves a fleece at some point.
Ellen: Would like to say I enjoyed it but when I lost all my work just after this pic was taken I was a bit miserable.
Jaggy: And a wood burning chimnea (out of shot)
Nice to see the Black Menace again.
Ooohh, I shall have to go and check that out!! For some reason (god knows why) I've never thought to seek out other Scottish bloggers...

I suppose that's as close as you are going to show us your teeth? My God woman you are a tease.
Emma: hehehe!
Carol: it's an ever changing thing I find. But man I found some good uns, I think.
Alex; He sends his fondest regards.
Hi Gillian am following you now all the way from Down under Australia...this blog caught my eye straightaway as your dog is similar to the one that I had her name was Tess, but unfotunately we had to put her down last year...
Hi Mathese: Welcome! I dread that day- Sonny (known as The Black Menace on this blog) is my first dog and the way they are involved in your everyday life is so much more intense than all the cats I've had. Poor you.
Are you a blogger yourself?
Ah yes you are- you're one of the Aussie Mum bloggers- ace!
