A debonair friend of mine muttered disconsolately that I hadn't mentioned him anywhere on my blog. A curious thing. I would assume that my friends and acquaintances would prefer not be mentioned. Certainly I would feel a frisson of alarm if I stumbled across a blog that recorded details of my life. I tend to feel that I am entitled to record my own business - but not necessarily anyone else's. I fear this makes me quaintly old-fashioned.
