It is always gret to find lots of nice people out there! Geoff, your comment really made me laugh.<br /><br />Apologies, again, for the sudden silence. I have had certain difficulties in my personal life. <br /><br />To the anonymous comments attacking Ben and Kat I just want to say that I am so sad that my failure to update the blog exposed Ben and Kat to such unfair criticism. This is my blog and I take responsibiity for it. It is not up to them to do my job for me. <br /><br />To those who criticised me, my answer is that although I accept that should have published an explanation I was feeling somewhat paralysed at the time. When you visit a personal website like this blog what you see one tiny dimension of someone's life. You should understand that sometimes a project like this can collapse when other parts of the owner's life collapse. <br /><br />I debated giving it up altogether because I had abandoned it for so many weeks, but it seems worth giving it another go.<br /><br />As one of the anonymous comments said, there are other Egyptology news sites out there including Tim's and Ben's and they are certainly good to visit as well. I have them both on Google Reader. The more the merrier.<br /><br />A belated Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. I hope that there were lots of eggs involved!<br /><br />Cheers to all<br />AndieAndiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342690442454499340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-80787579858540621962009-04-12T02:04:00.000+01:002009-04-12T02:04:00.000+01:00Well, I am late to wish the blog a happy birthday ...Well, I am late to wish the blog a happy birthday (and to you as well).
