Dolly doesn’t notice dust

Well, I completed the task of shifting stuff over to the new Collected Writings website, and I’ve put a modest little link in the sidebar here.  All that remains is to find a way to hook the Barbellion photo tribute pages in and to re-hash the contents page, adding a way to leave comments and, perhaps, an ‘About’ page.  No promises on the latter–I hate writing ‘About’ pages.

There has to be a link back here, of course, and then I can plug it all into the major search engines and wait for the trickle of visitors that makes for fame in my segment of the internet.

So far as I can tell–my eyes were getting a bit bleary at the very end–the works finish in around 2005.  While my writing output has slowed somewhat in the intervening four years, there has been an intermittent trickle since, sometimes amounting to a short-lived flood.  I need to decide, then, how best to accommodate this newer stuff and, indeed, anything new that comes along from here on out.

I’ve enjoyed having a heavy-weight project on the desk.  Now we must see how I get on with keeping the whole structure up to date.

This ought to be new tyre day.  And shopping.  I’m feeling a little weary, though, and am mightily tempted by Dolly’s suggestion that I might like to go back to bed for a good long nap after a little something for breakfast.  Mayhap. When she herds me along the hallway and up the stairs it’s incredibly difficult to resist.

It’s a lovely thought, really, that I have no duties that demand my attention, and that if I don’t dust, no-one will see it but Dolly and me.  And Dolly really doesn’t notice dust.
