It’s Still Thursday, Look
OK. It’s 11:53pm and I’ve promised to post every day, so I’m putting this here.
Lame.
Thing is, I drive myself pretty hard. I set out to write a post every day and that’s what I’m going to do. 11:54.

There are worse things to live by.
11:55
I don’t know why I post every day, but I said I would, so I do. I don’t really know what good it brings, but it’s something I set out to do. Also, if I tell you I’m going to do something, then I’m more likely to stick with it. It’s a pride thing - it’s how I gave up smoking.
Monday will mark three years exactly since I started this blog so it seems a shame to give up now. The fact that tomorrow’s post is already written is neither here nor there, because right now, today is all that matters.
11:56
I don’t even really know why I’m writing this now apart from the fact that I know you probably won’t read this until morning. That aside, I think that writing in my blog about writing my blog is pretty boring in itself.
But there you have it.
If you do enjoy reading this site, and I know I don’t say this a lot, but feel free to send a link round on Monday. Pass it around, by all means.
I read a few really good blogs which enrich my day and I wouldn’t have known about them if someone hadn’t told me.

For just no pence, you can make a difference.
Now I feel really stupid. But you know, you’re reading this and if you enjoy it, then why not, right?

Did you promise a post every day or every minute? I’m still waiting for 11.57, dammit.

I can only afford a second-hand jib, but such is life. Happy birthday, This.

Happy upcoming third birthday Cliff. You’ve treated us to a wonderful selection of imaginative, unusual and clever posts over this time and I’m constantly amazed (and jealous) that you can do that everyday. So, we know it’s tough, but tough, we need more.

I’ll second that - I cannot compliment you further than the fact that I try to emulate your studious spontaneity and imaginative innovation and fail miserably. But the essence of it is that you make me want to be a better blogger, to take it more seriously than simply filling up an amount of pixels with verbal diarrhea…that’s what you’ve brought to the world, Mr Clones. We can’t all cure cancer, but making people chuckle at the office of a morning is as noble a calling as any. Sniff.

Wendy - Daily, Jesus. 11:57 THIS.
Thanks Moll and Sam - yours are two (in fact, no -) the three of you write really well and I consider all of your blogs to be ripping good reads, so any praise from you all is a big compliment.
Also - thanks whoever sent the link around. I can see from my stats that I had a referral from an email server - really appreciate it.

SO Monday’s the big day eh? I hope I remember it. Monday’s going to be rough for me.
Happy Blog Anniversary Day in advance. And you know, every day is Blog Anniversary Day once you’ve been around a full year.
