I have some rather exciting news this week, but more on that in a moment. I must confess that I have had trouble finding a lot happening this week, visits too are down and I wonder if everyone is away. Spankville certainly seems to have slowed down somewhat.

That got me thinking about what I look at and why. For instance, I usually just work the list on the right and then throw in some other stuff I chanced upon. There is no particular reason why some things are included and others not. If you are a blogger you may think, hey DJ didn’t give that post of mine a mention and it was the best thing I have ever done. My apologies, it probably was, I just wasn’t paying attention or forgot to write it up when I came to this post.

It must be the same for others. These days I get picked up quite a bit elsewhere, but it is never what you expect; so much so that I never expect.

This week we have story coming up and I hope to return to the Sinclair Method and other material. It is also Love Our Lurker’s this week. Don’t feel you have to comment, for me the point is the acknowledgment that you are there. In fact as much as I appreciate comments, I would rather readers than writers so you are the stars.

LOL was began by Bonnie and is now being organised by Hermione. I lifted the funny picture above from her blog. Other pictures were taken from Firm Hand via various sources, an omission from my new The Professionals link on the side bar, now amended.

I was sorry to see that Season and Michael are stopping their blog for a while, hopefully they will be back.

Cherry Red has another round-up of image galleries, and Richard Windsor has more finds, one of which I lifted above. I will credit the other images at the end.

Now on to my news.

My girl indoors is a published author and has been running spanking forums (I am English not Latin) and blogs off and on for years. For some time now she had been pouting about me publishing the odd letter and post by other women. Then the other day she wrote something and wondered if I might publish it.

To say I would be delighted is an understatement, in fact it looks (I hope) as if this will become a regular feature on this blog. I am not sure what she is going to write, I rather suspect she is going to give away some of our domestic secrets, which I rarely do, but that is up to her.

Unfortunately she is unable to fully engage on the comment front for reasons some of you will know and others will have to guess at. Sorry to be so mysterious, one day I will explain. But in any case sometime in the next couple of weeks Indigo will be posting here.
