Thank you, everyone, for your comments. I've had a good long think about this, and I do believe that my blogger friend, who's been trapped in her lift for a good couple of weeks now, has decided to give it a shot. In fact, she's very much looking forward to having a chat with Clare, who commented and emailed, and is starting to figure out how to winnow out four years worth of posts without going bonkers in the process. I don't know if it's pure ego, but I'm sure there must be something worth having in there, somewhere...
