Hello Everyone, I hope you’re having a great Sunday. Firstly, apologies for the lateness of this blog, and secondly, apologies for it not being a blog – more a notice of change to the frequency of A Little Bit of Blake.
I have been blogging almost every single week for over three years but it’s getting too much for me to manage. My shift pattern has changed again and every other week I end up working three long shifts Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Not only does this not leave me enough time to write a blog ready to post Sunday morning, but it means I’m trying to write it on Wednesday after only blogging three days earlier – and often nothing has happened in those three days to talk to you about.
So, I’ve had a long hard think about it and reluctantly decided that my blog will be changing to every fortnight – for all American readers that is every two weeks (fourteen nights – fortnight).
This will take an enormous amount of pressure off me and mean that I can save up two weeks’ worth of news and chat to share with you.
I hope you understand and who knows, if my shift patterns change again and my life suddenly becomes a giddy whirl of activity, I may go back to every week. But, in the meantime, look out for A Little Bit of Blake dropping into your inbox every other Sunday.
Thank you and have a good week.

I don’t think that’s at all unreasonable, Julia! Shift changes wreak havoc with our internal clocks and our sleep habits, so this change in posting frequency will do you good.

I’ve done pretty well just to keep regularly blogging for so long anyway. I began with my daughter’s prom when she was fifteen and she’s now over eighteen so it’s over three years. It might be that my shifts will settle back down, but I never know from week to week what shifts I’ll be on.

I struggle to post every month, so even every two weeks is impressive to me! Also, fortnight is used here every once in a while, so I knew it meant every two weeks, but it never dawned on me that it was a truncation of “fourteen nights.” Learn something new every day! Looking forward to your next post!

I thought I better explain it because I’ve had so many Americans query it when I’ve used the word in the past.

I completely understand, Julia.
And I love the word fortnight.

It might be that my shifts will change again and I can blog more regularly, but it was getting to be a real chore so I think fortnightly is a good compromise.
