The mysterious draft blogs

The new blogger 'post' layouts tell me that we have 586 published blogs, 1 scheduled and 30 drafts on file.
Now 586 blogs is a lot of pontificating (or, more honestly, waffling) but 30 drafts...what's all that about..? The new format allows you to find out, so I had a little look. They date from March 2008 (4 weeks after we moved onto MR) to June of this year. 20 of the 30 were just titles and/or thoughts that never developed or duplications for some reason. Some were too boring or contentious to publish or, more excitingly, sub judice - as per the ridiculous situation with the boat on the Fens in 2010. That leaves me with 10 that carry photos and memories worth retrieving. All I have to do is work out how OR just change the dates and publish them. In the words of Stingray, 'anything could happen in the next half hour' or, more likely, nothing at all (case in point, this is exactly the sort of blog I've saved to draft and never published).

I find this amazing; I started this blog just a week ago - before all hell let loose. If there are some that I didn't publish because they were too contentious, with hindsight about what I thought was OK, it's just as well I didn't or we'd probably have been torpedoed (not enough water) or blown up by now! This, therefore rounds off my 2011 with my menagerie at Mum's on the East Coast. Happy 2012 cruising everyone.

Idiot dogs - will you please get out of the sea - grandma will NOT be impressed
