A rainy night in Ukraine
I am delighted to report that since my latest (last) post regarding my adventures in Ukraine and the surrounding countries, I have acquired a distinctly new demographic of readership and I’d like to thank and welcome the humans among them to “the bear and the bees”
Around ten days ago I became aware that the number of hits on this site were rocketing through the roof (pun intended) and that several thousand ‘people’ were viewing the page daily. I noted that a number of them were kindly leaving comments for me in either abusive English, (presumably abusive) Russian Cyrillic or what was obviously auto generated rubbish.
Never one to look a gift (reader) in the mouth and instead of cutting off the flow immediately, I watched the influx of messages and determined that a small number of readers were probably genuine but that the rest were more likely creatures who live under bridges. I have to say that the ones who had interesting or amusing insults to offer, I didn’t block them out of hand, but nor did I think that I’d allow them out onto the page. To those who don’t like what I write and not just because it’s rubbish, but because it contradicts your ‘truth’ – welcome anyway. I realise that you’d prefer to get more exposure for your employers/handlers/feeders and I apologise for now blocking you from commenting, but do please keep reading anyway.
For those genuine readers, I have few posts almost ready to go, but the events out here are keeping me so busy, it’s hard to finish something when you’re always out the door and sleep/food/gin are also a priority.
All the best,
Jerry.
