Two Thousand Five Hundred Posts On Seven Days In


This is post number 2500 whichis a milestone. The visits are now picking up going from single figures to three figures on a daily basis. This does not make me money but hopelly the links to my Vocal page may be able to tap into these visit.

This week I have listened to the complete Pink Floyd back catalogue on CD plus obviously a lot more. I also found a post about my start on being part of a Gospel choir with Sharon Durant and supporting Solomon Burke at the Sage in Gateshead which I may turn into a Vocal story.




The first gig of the year will be The Musical Box final tour of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" at the Tyne Theatre tomorrow.

Still reading World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer and it is a little formulaic but I will persist with it as he is a good writer.

I recently found out that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not others. C'est La Vie.

The music is "In The Cage" by Genesis from "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"

2499


This is post number 2499 which I suppose is a sort of milestone, well the next one will be. The visits are still dropping off so still trying to figure out what is going on and still wondering whether to keep this URL. My visits are currently just making double figures though this month there have been over 10K.

I just switched modes on this editor and it changed the font types so apologies if it looks odd.

Continual Observation


This is a follow-up to my last post, not really saying anything new, but wondering if this will stimulate visits one more

The visits seem to have dropped off so still trying to figure out what is going on and whether to keep this URL which may be the reason for the sometimes huge spikes in visits

A Numerical Experiment


This blog is now a sort of diary and I am not sure if I will hit 20 posts this year. I had not posted in a month and in December 2022 I have about six thousand visits (I wish I got that many reads on my Vocal site which actually does make me money with about fifteen hundred reads per month.

However, when I posted this month for one day I got four thousand visits, so this is a test to see whether dropping a post in here will give me another boost, this month is standing at twelve thousand visits.

Too Many Tiers


This is my first post of this year, and showing how I have slipped off the pace with this blog as most of my writing is now on Vocal, and that actually pays me coffee money.

I am still reading World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer and in some ways, it is becoming a little samey although I can't remember everything that happens in it. I can't diss it, and I will finish it but I am a slow reader and am only 140 pages into to it and there are two books probably laying in at over a thousand pages.

Still In Tiers


This will probably be my last blog post this year. Most of my writing is now on Vocal and I use this mainly to document my reading. I may do a New Year's Eve and New Year's Day post to finish off the year.


I am still reading World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer and It has many similarities with the Riverworld series though no historical figures. Essential Gods create these Tiers which reflect epochs in Earth's history, in a different dimension. The book is big and the text small so I think I will be some time on this one, though I eventually slipped into this universe and now I want to know where it goes.

Very little is familiar to me barring the concept and one of the characters.

Back Into The World Of Tiers


I thought this was going to be the first month for maybe fifteen years that I didn't post to this blog. I finished "The Prince With The Silver Hand" which is the second trilogy of Corum books which has been described by The Irish Times as a whole new dimension to Celtic Mythology band really did not want it to end, but I knew it had to, but I loved every word I read. 


My next book is diving back into World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer which I can tell you nothing about because it is so long since I last read it, but I will share my progress so there may be another post before the end of November.


"Rings of Power"  is also complete as is "House of the Dragon", both of which I have been impressed with.

Music is "World of Tiers" by Hawkwind from Levitation.
