Lusting for Limelight

50,000!
 I got quite a shock yesterday, when I realized I have surpassed this astoundingly large number of hits.  

This does call for some kind of celebration, as I think I must admit to not only the desire to blog, but also to having  tatters feel that my ramblings were worth following.  There.  I said it.  I was going for the applause.

Well, you have certainly granted me my secret wish. I thank you so much for the privilege.

It has been inspiring, invigorating and often entertaining to read all the comments and suggestions and to have the marvellous support of Tat-land.  You have been there in happy times  -  the arrival of Mini-Boss -  and  when things were not not going so well in the 'other world'.

This blog has been a lifesaver and I am grateful to each and every one of you who stopped by and had a peek at my progress and left a message.  This blog has survived because of YOU!


Maebh has decreed that I host a give-away to commemorate this milestone.  She is, right now as I write, pondering the logistics and the contents of the package...

  8. Congratulations! I lost my counter last year, so I have no idea how many people visit my blog. Maybe I should start with a new counter and try to catch up to you!
