18 days to go...........Roll Call

Extraordinary. Do you realise that when this little bit of waffle started - as well as being well in excess of nineteen stone - my expectations for the volume of readers were limited to the odd visit from Wee-Ali and perhaps a mis-direction for people with a thing for flatulence. It really was beyond my wildest imaginings that I would be pushing on towards four thousand hits. Yes, I know that Lady Radio Ga Ga probably gets those figures in about a nanosecond, but although I have been called Ga Ga on a regular basis, there the similarity ends.

In the space of two years, I have been visited by people from the UK (hello!), the US (howdy?!), Russia (zdravstvuj!), Germany (guten tag), Australia (g'day), Ukraine (pryvit), Canada (hello/bonjour), France (bonjour), India (namaskar) and Hong Kong (ni hao!) to name only the top ten. It's so cool!!!!! It started me thinking (sorry, couldn't help myself, I know what happened last time; the poor old milkman is still looking at me funny) that asides from the few friends and family who have made themselves known to me, I have no clue as to the identity of...well.......you! So as we reach journeys end, this is your chance to make yourselves known to me. Let's see who is out there, who is following. I don't need any personal details or anything that you may feel uncomfortable with, but it would be lovely to know who you are and where you hail from. We aren't going to get many more chances for our intimate little chats, and isn't it about time you did a little typing?
