WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND ?

of September 17. If you participate please put the little logo on the top of your post and leave your link.

This weekend there was again a big folklore festival, this time on and around the Grand' Place in Brussels.



Of course there were many people and tourists and everybody had a lot of fun, despite the rather cool weather. But dancing warms up !




Before I returned home I went to this very posh looking restroom, acquarium, mirrors and dim lights which made say an eldery woman " I can't see anything, there is not enough light, it looks like a brothel here and I am too old for that !" We all laughed.



and the bar "Le cercueil" (the coffin) which I knew from my 20th is still there even with a summer promotion. Inside the tables are coffins, and you drink out of skulls. I asked myself if the skeleton was still the same.

Sunday was the "Day without cars" in Brussels. Only owners (like doctors) with a special permission were allowed to use their cars and taxi drivers. Otherwise only buses, trams and subways and on this day everybody could ride for free ! People used the boulevards for roller skating, biking, walking or just dancing around ! I went to the midi market to do some shopping. The trains were packed too ! In the afternoon a friend from my painting group came for a cup of tea, she wanted to see our new front garden to give her some ideas for hers.

COMMENT STATISTIC ?

Considering that I blog since September 2006, I refrained myself to participate, but it made me curious. I thought if I could only find a post which had the most comments. Of course it was a post with only a funny picture for Wordless Wednesday which made over 45 comments. But I wanted a real post where I wrote something and not the once where I have to be wordless. Anyway these wordless posts had a lot of success over the years, I have to admit the comments are easy to write too. (lol, hahaha, funny ... etc. ...)

But the once which really had lots of comments, (now don't think I am a comment collector, far from that) were these once :

Christmas ornaments with 41 comments in 2007

First trip to the USA in 1971 with 38 comments in 2008

8 things about you with 33 comments in 2007

Virtual friends with 32 comments in 2011

I came to the conclusion that the posts I liked the most, have maybe readers but not commentors, which is a big difference and the once I didn't like at all, where I had only done my daily "duty" got the most.

It also happens to me that I read a post, but don't have time to make an intelligent comment, so I rather leave it instead of making a stupid one, or just copy and paste the same comment in all posts, to make a comment marathon.

I also noticed that either my writer quality has diminished or that there are less Bloggers as in 2007 because there are less comments or that today the comments are rather quality before quantity, which honnestly I prefer.

Conclusion : Blogging is and remains my favorite hobby ! And if you feel to do statistics with the above mentioned questions : go ahead !
