Many are about personal matters that only a friend or a family member would find interesting, or someone who happens to be in a similar life situation. I guess my book reviews could be interesting to someone with a similar taste in books, but I post them irregularly so this blog is not likely to be anyone&rsquo;s main source for book recommendations. As I said early on, I write the blog really mostly for myself, although I do get a bit of a warm feeling from knowing that others read it too.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBut I have quite accidentally managed to write one post that actually seems to draw total strangers. It&rsquo;s my one and only rant &ndash; about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/2006\/09\/23\/the_total_incompetence_of_parc\/\">the total incompetence of Parcelforce<\/a> and I guess I wasn&rsquo;t the only one to have a low opinion of them. Googling for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=parcelforce+charlton+depot\">Parcelforce Charlton depot<\/a> actually brings up my rant in 5th place, which confirms that the contact information for the depot is almost impossible to find. More revealingly, 9 out of the top 10 hits are rants about bad experiences people have had with that depot&#8230; More reason to avoid Parcelforce.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking of searches, I have also managed to grab the top spot in Google image search for <a href=\"http:\/\/images.google.com\/images?q=homer%20muumuu\">Homer muumuu<\/a>.
