The Old Geezer Blog

One of the best things about being a Follower of blogs, is being able to click on interesting looking profile icons, and looking at which blogs they Follow. That's how you find other people's blogs. That's how I found one of the best blogs I reckon anyone could find ... The Old Geezer Blog.

I found Ron's blog that way, and greedily search my Google Reader each morning to see if he's posted anything new. Unfortunately, at present, he's on a GSBB (Geezer Summer Blog Break). How fortunate - for him! I suppose, being an ex-truckie, the call of the asphalt got to him, and Mrs G. Who knows? But, I'm sure they'll be back blogging, soon. Hope so, anyway. For me, it's as though Ron's blog has a bell around it, so I always know where it is!

Ron doesn't waste time with too much decoration. It's about the most sparsely populated blog I have seen! That, I think, is one of it's most attractive points, and one I will learn from.

Do yourself a favour, and call in to see Ron's TOGB for some light-hearted, or I should say heart-lightening posts!

This is definitely one Great Blog!

ps: Oct.2011 - Great News - TOGB is alive and well. The URL has changed and readers had difficulty finding it - including me. The new URL is: 

http://theoldgeezerblog.blogspot.com

Thank goodness, as this is one helluva blog! Good on you, Ron!

p.s. I hope you don't mind me using your images on this post, Ron? Thanks.

Everyday Beauty

I have a friend, Zuzu, who often visits my blog, the Report, and leaves a comment, or two. I clicked on the link to her Profile one day, and saw that Zuzu has a blog of her own, which, I must admit, is not a common occurrence with Followers. I decided to have a look.

The blog, simply named - Everyday Beauty, is a blog designed for ladies. No problem. I like to look at the photos of pretty people, luscious lips, enchanting eyes, and keep aware of beauty products - because I have two daughters!
They think I am 'kewl' because I know things! I appreciate that.

Zuzu sets out her blog in a basic, informative, and un-cluttered way, which I like, too. She is not into ads, and lots of links, either. In fact, Zuzu states what she likes, in no uncertain manner.

Zuzu also has an Everyday Beauty forum, which I'd imagine is for ladies to discuss things that interest them.


I have lots of lady Followers on various blogs, so I hope that they will have a look at Zuzu's blog.

I think it's great!

Been there, Done that.

Recently, I have been very entertained by a blog, written by a lady in Norway, whose name is Siv Maria, and her blog is Been there, done that. here's her button...

Maria's blog has stories of Norse Mythology, which I find fascinating, and some of the stars are names such as Odin, Thor, Loki, Sif Thor (Mrs Thor), Freyja and even more mysterious - Trolls! Stories from the kingdom of Åsgard have always been a draw-card for my inner child, for tales of exciting folk lore.

I suppose that's why I love reading about Greek mythology, too, although I find the Norse variety superb, and Siv Maria presents it very well. I think she is a born story teller!

Maybe you will, too.

Great Blogs!

What does 'Great Blog' mean to you?

Does it mean something like a gargantuan Google-powered monster-website with all the bells and whistles?

What about a blog which has 5 million links to all and sundry other sites, pictures everywhere, rock and roll music when you view it?

Or, does it a provide a source from which information you desire to read, photos occasionally, amusing anecdotes, perhaps, even a recipe, or ten, is conveyed?

Well, I'm sure that my readers will fit into many categories of preference, when it comes to what they think are Great Blogs. So, do I.

This blog is MY collection of blogs which I think are Great. Blogs which suit MY taste. I can only hope that some of you get to like them, too, and Follow them, or subscribe a site Feed for updates. I don't often add to my list, as I don't do a lot of 'surfing' on the 'net, however, rest assured, if I find a blog I think is worthy of association with the others on this blog, I will include it.

BTW - I hope you like my new addition - an Image-icon Tab link bar! Your blog might be one!

A Painter's Passage

I am sure that most people have an innate talent for something. Other people have a talent born of hard hours of practice, trial and error. I am also 100% convinced that some people have a God-given talent, which ranks them above, and beyond, peers in a similar realm.

To be able to portray the 'feelings', and 'character' of a person (subject) on a canvas, is, to me, truly beyond what I can understand. As you would be aware, being a reader of this blog, I have a love for visiting blogs of artistic competence.

My friend, Sharon, from the North East of the USA, is such a person - a painter. Her blog is such a blog.

Sharon presents her works on a blog, which is in one way, a canvas. In another way, it is her voice to the world. The blog is called A Painter's Passage


I have fallen in love with her works, and I am sure you will, as well. I would very much like to post a copy of one of Sharon's works, here, on this blog, and will endeavour to get her permission.


In my humble opinion, A Painter's Passage is a must-see!
