I wonder if the halfway mark of the year is making us all stop and take stock. I am torn between finding out what new and interesting things I could do to jazz up my blog (I've seen a couple interesting examples lately), or whether I want to keep it simple and totally focus on telling stories on paper and in print. You do a good job of keeping your blog pretty focused - I sometimes wish I wasn't so easily distracted to try other things. Speaking of which, I can't wait to see what you have coming next.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-43271023946211289292012-06-29T17:13:18.201+01:002012-06-29T17:13:18.201+01:00Depends on the e-mail, some only need a quick answ...Depends on the e-mail, some only need a quick answer back, others I need to consider first!<br /><br />Can't wait to see what's in store for the blog.<br /><br />And just to say i have the wedge topped pie baking in the oven as I type, it's not as neat as the small one's but it looks like it will be yummy!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716099330611788230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-53638111327370725512012-06-29T14:48:03.207+01:002012-06-29T14:48:03.207+01:00Great thoughts Sian.

I know Craig who as you know is self employed, grumbles a lot about people not believing in 9-5 office hours when dealing with him but he's STILL out there returning emails at gone midnight regardless. Even on holiday,he checks every day and replies even when he's set up "the business is closed, emails will be dealt with on such & such a date" auto response things - he can't help himself - he still checks and replies. He's even gone out and sourced stock, wrapped it and sent it while we were away on holiday but people don't appreciate it. Anyway... I digress.. Official =- reply as soon as possible. Personal - reply at leisure so you can havve a nice long waffle - this usually means I might take a couple of days to reply to those though :)<br /><br />Wow - it doesn't feel like a couple of years since you were unveiling your new look! Can't believe in some ways that I've "known" you that long and in others feels like I've been visiting a lot longer :DCarmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-86996593286929558352012-06-29T08:18:16.671+01:002012-06-29T08:18:16.671+01:00Sandi - Good point, we need a theme!

Ope...I TRY to answer my email as soon as I open it. Open, answer, delete. I TRY to keep my "inbox" to one page (rarely possible). But when i get an email that invites a conversation - that requires more than a one or two line reply, I'll often save it to come back to later when I have more time to write a proper response. Sometimes that means it takes a day or two. I don't like when I do that but my choice is a quick response that doesn't give the email the attention it really deserves, or a delayed response that allows me to be fully in the moment and attentive to the intended recipient. Which would you rather receive???Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-15514506091709636252012-06-28T11:31:10.616+01:002012-06-28T11:31:10.616+01:00I only read email on my computer and almost always...I only read email on my computer and almost always reply immediately. I also find it frustrating when folks wait several days, as I'm not always sure they got it, and I don't want to be a pest. Although I love my phone, I just don't use it for email.
