First Round-Up of the year and it is already out with the old and in with the new. That includes one old boiler and one new one (I hope). Indigo has written a far better and more lyrical account of our life here at the moment. You can read it on Wednesday.

Also out this year you will be sad to hear is Able over at Spanking Writers. After 10 years and a phenomenal four million plus hits he is retiring from the blogging world. Indigo had the pleasure of meeting Able a couple of years back (apparently he kindly offered to cane her – what a nice man) and I know she will be sad too. Good luck A and come back soon.

Elsewhere newness abounds, I feel sure. One Hand Monkey is closing Sometimes a Girl Needs a Good Spanking and moving it to a new home just around the corner and calling it Sometimes a Girl Needs a Good Spanking II.

If you visit he can explain the move, but I gather the old one is full and starts deleting old threads after a while.

Several blogs have yet to get going after Christmas and some, after a promising start last year, seem to have never really got going at all. It will be interesting to see if they pick-up with the New Year. But I can hardly complain, I have still to catch-up on comments. Thanks everyone for your input.

All Things Spanking pointed me in the direction of Rachel Kramer Bussel who apparently likes to be spanked. That’s her in the jeans above I think.

Ehlane over at Less Than Three is celebrating completing her first story; the misty bottom above is from her blog (and may in fact be her).

A little bit past its sell-by-date for this round-up is a cute movie from Chross and a picture from above.

Other pictures are from: Acknowledging Imperfection, Scarlet’s Real Magic, Devlin O’Neil, Yeowch, About Spanking and Cutiepie.
