    Hey Ruth. My blogathon article will be in tomorrow, on the last day. I was hoping to get it in sooner but have been a bit busy this week. Just thought I would let you know.

      Sounds good! I will make a note of it on the list. Sadly, I will be out of town tomorrow & won’t be able to read/comment on Friday posts until after the weekend, but I’m really looking forward to seeing your thoughts on Sydney Greenstreet on Flamingo Road.

    Personal issues have been going on on my end, so I will have to upload by late tonight or tomorrow, if that is fine. So sorry for the inconvenience!

      Thanks, Crystal. I was going to ask you about the old link, so I’m glad you sent this one. I’ve asked Kristina at Speakeasy to add it to the Day 6 recap. I’m travelling today, but will read all about Mr Greenstreet when I get home tonight. 🙂
