Mystery Solved… and I’m back
I have not written in a few days, and there has been a reason. All of a sudden I started getting tons of readers, and people started leaving lots of comments. I was cracking my head trying to figure out how this happened, but then some of the new readers alerted me to the fact that my little blog was featured on a Maltese website called Wired Temples. It seems to be a place where they showcase a Malta-related blog every day.
Things got even weirder. I got a phone call the next day from a friend, because apparently she works with the wife of somebody who had read my blog. Not only that, but they had all figured out who I was and had traced it back to me. Then I told M about all of this, and it turns out that the person running Wired Temples is an acquaintance of his, and the other day I had even met him briefly and had shaken his hand (though we did not talk as we were in a group).
Those who know me will be very amused by my reaction: I found it all totally overwhelming and a bit freaky… and couldn’t bring myself to write again for days. But I have now reconciled myself with the fact that this is a small country, and something like this was bound to happen. I have been encouraged by the comments people have been leaving welcoming me to the island.
And so, to make up for this absence, I will post a few different entries today.
Finally I have a question: does anyone know how I can comment on a comment? I am new at this and I could not figure it out.
Exactly the same reaction that I had at the time when my blog was suddenly forced out of the closet by Robert… Yep. This IS a tiny place!!
Regarding your question… next to each comment there’s a link labelled “comment this” - I think that’s where you should go to leave a comment on the comment
It *is* funny isn’t it… then again, you sometimes spend years not meeting people in Malta - I mean, I haven’t met some friends I used to hang around with in my teens since, well, my teens! There’s also a rumour that you find Maltese people in a particular street corner in any country you visit - and so far, I’ve seen/heard Maltese people in several of the countries I’ve visited - including qutie exotic ones so it might just be true!
LOL So much for being anonymous, eh? I’m glad you’ve faced your fears. Now if you can only stop worrying about those tourists who inadvertantly take photos of you.
Gros bisous!
haha I’m sure it was quite weird to suddenly get comments from complete strangers. Take it as a compliment to your writing
Thanks G, I will take it as such
