Today's The Day

I get back into Blogland.  Mind you I thought that yesterday but 'twas not to be.  The forecast for today is heavy showers and then rain and the rest of the week is supposed to be worse.  C'est la vie.  Hunkering down is something I can do for a few days quite happily.  I know that I need to be back.  Usually I wake to 20 to 30 emails (a lot more if I've been very active in Blogland) in the in-boxes spread amongst my 17 email accounts (I use different accounts for different purposes and it restricts the spam to the one I use for travel - travel companies seem to be targets for spam or some of them sell their huge email subscriptions).  Today I woke to not a single email.  I can't recall that happening before.  I had to refresh my POP mail 3 times before I'd believe it.  Mind you a friend has emailed me whilst I've been writing this paragraph so at least I know that my mail is working.  One thing I have noticed over the years is that, as a rule, I get far fewer emails at weekends and I have a perception that there is less blog posting too at weekends.  I wonder why.  Do people spend more family time and/or go out more at weekends?

Spam - Not The Sort You Eat

Actually I don't eat Spam anyway.   A while ago CJ said that my emails were going to his spam box.  I just assumed that it was a reflection of the content of my emails and BTYahoo were dealing out summary judgement on their content.  I rarely mention Viagra (not that I know what it is) or sex (I've forgotten what that is) or any of the other things that I assume send things to spam boxes so why they are sent there I'm not sure.  Anyway I assumed it was a BTYahoo foible.  Recently however a friend said that my email had ended up in her spam box too and as she is in New Zealand BTYahoo couldn't get a look at it!  

So if you haven't received my email recently it may be in your spam box.  Of course it may also be that I haven't sent you one recently!
