17th Blogiversary

 

I nearly forgot my blogiversary again, was distracted making an aubergine bake.

17 years makes it one of my longest relationships.

The statistics say 1670 posts.

Page views today 1169.

All time page views 1,256,926.

That's amazing, but slightly weird that 127,000 of them were on the 9th of January 2026. 

Equally weird, most visited post 'Not Offloading Much' from August 2025, which in one fell swoop overtook Margaret Atwood Poetry from April 2010 which has consistently been the most visited.

Still in the top ten are the Lizard Cake Tutorial and our 2009 trip to Oxford for Midsummer Day with Will and Lyra. Most visited novel review is Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong from 2021.

I like to think of it like a reading diary now; it will help in my old age so I don't waste my precious time accidentally re-reading things I have already read.

Off to bake the aubergine bake now.

Stay safe. Be kind.
