Flaming Nora

Thanks to everyone who's been asking how I am. If 100% is totally well and how I was before the illness started back in August, then I reckon I'm hovering around 81.3% now. I'm still not right and haven't had so much as a sniff of red wine since August 28th. Not that I'm counting the days or anything. So while I'm not quite back to being: I am definitely on the mend and feeling much better than this:

This blog gets, if its lucky, about 30 hits per day. (My other blog gets hundreds of thousands of hits per month but that's another story and another blog). A few months ago I wrote a little blog post about Olive from On the Buses. It's here. And for some reason it's sent the statometer mad and I don't know why. Is Olive the new black? Are specs and greasy hair the in-thing? Is Olive the new Kate Moss? Who knows? And so I've updated the blog post about Olive to ask why so many hits are coming in on that post. If some kind soul tells me why, I'll share it with the other 29 of you who read this.

Olive from On The Buses is haunting my thoughts. I won't say who it is (because I'm not cruel) but there's a woman on the telly who reads our weather and she looks just like OFOTB. And on the same day I thought that, I walked out of the tube station to find a poster for a panto starring the real life Olive. PS: If anyone can tell me why this blog's stat-counter is going into overdrive with hits to this Olive post, I'd love to find out. Leave a comment below, go on, you know you want to. And while you're here, why not take a look at my Coronation Street Blog - it's fab.
