Two years on and I've realised that
http://nicarralovessims.blogspot.com/ is at an end. The blog in its current format uses the newspaper The SV Times to report what's going on in the hood.
I find there is a small problem when jumping back and forth across the hood. No one family really has enough of my interest to continue to care about them.
The newspaper itself was actually a quick play and a quick write. And it was an interesting way to be a bit different. But after a break from it, I've come to realise that I don't care enough to go back.
