I don't know quite how to mark this milestone but I passed 50,000 views on this blog today. Don't ask me over what period as I can't remember when I started counting but based on my guestimated average daily count it's probably around 270 days.
What I will say is that I never set out to get zillions of readers. I write this blog for the love of writing and spouting off about stuff that interests me, amuses me, vexes me or annoys me. It's also like a diary and a record of my life that I don't keep in any other form.
And if people read it then I'm extremely flattered. I am.
It still surprises me how many people happen upon these pages in the course of surfing the web. But not as much as those few who stop by regularly.
And I fully intend to carry on, not only because I love it but I really enjoy being part of this small community, reading and commenting on my neighbours posts and reading what people have to say about mine.
