I met several people who, like you, took the trouble to jot down notes along the way, and I also had this as an initial intention, although didn't keep it up as well as I could have. As you say, at the end of a busy day doing stuff, fatigue does get in the way of posting. Thanks for visiting the blog! Thanks Deborah, and I agree that posts do improve if you have time to reflect.

I did jot down the essentials in my handwritten journal (yes -- I am still an ink and paper gal on occasion!) and I referred back to those notes afterwards. I'm sure the blog posts will be all the better since you will have had time to reflect on all of the when, where, and how.
