Waiting 60 years for a Toddy
-What’s the difference between a blogger and a journalist?
-Bloggers read and respond to their readers’ comments, journalists don’t!
OK, please relax journalists, I understand that there are plenty of other differences such as a proper education and training in journalism, journalistic standards (properly citing sources, etc) and accountability. But there is a real point here – bloggers place far more importance on reader comments and interactions with their readers; journalists tend to adopt a more unidirectional approach.
I always like receiving comments on Eat Rio, but every so often something extra special comes in that stands out from the rest. And just such a comment appeared exactly a month ago.

It turns out that life without the 9-5 is full of things to do – I would find an extra set or two of arms very helpful right now! A proper post will appear this time tomorrow.

Eat Rio Photo of the day: 31st March 2014
That’s right – your eyes are not deceiving you. To reflect the fact that I now have more time to devote to all things Eat Rio, I’m starting an “Eat Rio Photo of the Day” series. Every day I’ll post a photo here for anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of the Cidade Maravilhosa. I won’t be linking to these posts on Facebook or Twitter, so just drop by about lunchtime to see what’s new!
Today’s inaugural offering shows the sun rising over Guanabara Bay last Saturday morning.
Right then, same time tomorrow?
