I started Ranty Friday because I wanted to host a weekly linky and be part of the community that is blogging. I also wanted to limit my ranting to one day a week. Increasingly, and generally as a direct result of time spent reading the Daily Mail, I was finding I wanted to rant more and more. So I thought I would make myself just rant once a week so my entire blog didnt become a rant fest.
But I have now found that because of that I am not event commenting on stories I read elsewhere, instead “saving them up” for Friday and then by Thursday night something else has come along that I want to rant about. Meaning the original idea gets binned and I have missed the moment.
I have always said that I started this blog to get things out of my head and recently that hasn’t been happening.
Life has also taken over recently and I find, like today, I haven’t even had time to write the post for today. I know what I want to write about but I haven’t had a chance and it is approaching mid day. That is rubbish if people want to write their posts and link up.
So I am parking Ranty Friday for a while. I am going back to having a grumble when I want to and not saving it up for a Friday.
And maybe not grumbling at all. I am trying to be more positive and generally happy. And I don’t necessarily want to be known as the blogger that does the ranty linky anymore
So here is a picture of my daughter’s kitten. Because there can never be too many kitten pictures in the world. (thanks to @cabface for the pic).
Can we have Fluffy Friday in it’s place please? Kitten pics galore!
Fluffy Friday? I’m in!
oh me likey! Fluffy Friday is a great idea. Let’s do it ladies
And there was I with the perfect link up for a Rant this week that I had been stewing over for a while! Fluffy Friday is fine but not just kittens please, they make me sneeze.
You can still have your rant and link to the RantyFriday page if you like, and use the # on Twitter adn I will find you. Please do, sounds like it’s a great post!
I’m in! Fluffy Friday it is. And agree you should be able to rant whenever you like, especially if its Daily Mail related!!
Fluffy Friday sounds awesome. Where do I sign up!
I feel similarly about Wot so Funee? I’m finding it a pressure. I guess blogs evolve as we do. I must say, I especially like your kitten and dog Facebook posts 🙂
I think #FluffyFriday might have legs then … might have legs… do you see what I did there? Did you?
What?. Harumph! Flouncing off now to slam some doors and stomp. I know that I only participated a couple of times, but I must say that I liked knowing that it was there as a “safe space” to vent, a confessional of sorts. Knowing that it is ok to express feelings that aren’t always “fluffy kittens” as cute as it is. Seriously- too cute! But totally understandable. I was all ready for a rant last week, and I was gearing myself to be as sensible as possible with it, but by Friday, the need to vent had gone. Luckily, I find that I tend to be in more of a “sunshine and lollipops frolicking about” mood. So if you do want to start a Fluffy Friday- I’ll most likely be up for it.
Fluffy Friday you say ?
Yep yep yep, I’m all over it 🙂
I’ll miss Ranty Friday. I’ve loved getting involved in the past. I’m in for Fluffy Friday though!
You are so spot on. I am SO up for #FluffyFriday too. Count me in for that. We all need more positivity in our lives, then the rants will just melt away…
That really is a gorgeous kitten picture, I love a ranty post – Looking forward to regular rant reading in the future! x
I like a good rant now and then, but equally nice to make Fridays all warm and fuzzy. I’m up for that.
I loved your ranty posts but I am happy to read the blog anyway. hugs x
