six hundred……..and one

Last Monday's post saw a huge milestone for this blog, with its six hundredth post!

And for this six hundred and first post (!!) I thought I'd look back at the previous centennial milestones for this blog.

The 500th (please excuse the abbreviations from now on) post saw me reveal a triptych of images from the Swansea Valley and our "Paradise".

madness takes its toll - my lockdown "hairstyle"!!!

Rewind to post number 400 and I reprised the previous 400 posts looking at things as diverse as sausages, quantum theory and maths.

A hundred posts earlier saw post number 300 (never?) where I looked at some close up images of, well weeds frankly!

For my 200th entry I must have realised that's what it was because I imaginatively called it "200 and Counting".  What a great mind!  And how, exactly, did I celebrate this milestone?  With pictures of my garden of course!

You might have guessed by now, but post number 100 was a celebration and retrospective of my early life on blogger.  Something that started with me in hospital and not knowing if I'd live much longer had reached its 100th post.  And I was feeling much better!

I genuinely believe that in these early days, this blog helped keep me alive by giving me a purpose.  I tried to write every day when I could and although I haven't kept up that arduous workrate, six hundred posts over six and a half years or so isn't such a bad return, is it?

Bugger!!  

My numbering has gone awry, as after writing this celebratory post I made an unscheduled one about bloody covid rules.  So this is the 602nd post celebrating the 601st.  I'll endeavour to not make the same mistake when 702 or 708 comes around!
