Single Malts - and other odd Musings

These Stay At Home Days


I love our magnolia blossoms, but wish that day many years ago when I planted this particular variety that I had known how short their time of beauty was.

We heard the thud and could find nothing till I went around to the back - luckily I wasn't working here like I had the day before - 6 inch diameter max, but without a safety helmet it would have been lights out for sure

Is She Hurt?


looked out the pantry window last Thursday, and there in the back yard were a pair of Canadian geese, with the one lying forward on its chest with neck bobbed forward as if straining to be held off the ground, and maintaining that pose for some minutes

I wondered if she (actually can't tell if it is she or he, but my mind read her as a she) was hurt, or simply doing 'Down Goose' yoga - at any rate they hung around for an hour or so then walked toward the pond.  Later I journeyed down the back to see if indeed they were looking to settle into the pond and surrounding area or not - didn't see them anywhere so wandered the wood and came back into the house and had a cuppa' tea

the next post will be a few photographs taken along with the above

URL name for my blog - and changes in number of hits



I might just say F-off Facebook and go back to the old name for good for it looks like I get many more hits that way 

stay tuned 

Great Blue Heron on Piling


if you look closely at the tip of the bow of the near boat and then up on the piling just upstream there is a Great Blue Heron taking his ease

URL change results for today



Well, whether my attempt to increase 'hits' was the cause or not, the number increased multiples of times more today than for a while - and I have left the old address on the whole day.  Tomorrow morning, 21 March 2020, I plan to then go back to my changed address [capebreton-norvellhimself-singlemalt@blogspot.com] in order to post onto Facebook.  If you are using the old address (URL) that begins with 'norvellhimself' today, please remember to switch.

I will post an update about this time tomorrow to see if today's figures were flukes or really a result of my fiddling around today.

THANKS
 

This is
an attempt to steer long time visitors of my blog under its old name of some years:

singlemalt-capebreton-norvellhimself@blogspot.com

to the same blog under its new name for some number of months now:
capebreton-norvellhimself-singlemalt@blogspot.com




Some while ago Google did away with their Google + network, which same had steered many visitors to my blog.  And as a result about half my readership disappeared leaving me able only to attract visitors with Facebook, and Twitter notices of my new postings.  Then more recently some person for reasons to me unknown, reported to Facebook that my blog was posting inappropriate material .  Immediately Facebook denied my posts and have never responded to my entreaties to check it out for themselves.  
I then changed the original name to a similar name - as shown above - but have never had the readership return of those earlier years.  So today I am running this one post under the old name in hopes of catching the eye of some of the old followers that might still hope to find my blog again -  AND IF YOU DO SEE THIS then please just do the simple change of 'singlemalt' from the beginning to the end of the original title.

Thank you, NorvellHimself
