Month: May 2020

I went to my favourite eating establishment, Hartley's Kitchen'  which is in the middle of nowhere but surprisingly busy. Paul, the owner, takes great delight in serving the public and as a result has a local following second to none.  As we arrived, he was off to do a delivery to someone who could not come to the restaurant.

I became really frustrated with trying to sign up for Zoom as a host. I was going round and round in circles, nothing worked, so I decided to leave and come back again at some future time. Sometimes things resolve themselves when you leave them alone. We decided to go for a walk. A lovely meadow with a clear blue sky and absolutely no sign of human habitation or interference.

Having a good stats program is very helpful because you can see among other things what your readership is actually looking at in terms of popularity of pages, origin of visitors and time on the site.
