Gosh, blogging for three years.

As always on anniversary day, here’s some self-obsessed scores on the doors. I’m not one for harping on about my hit count or Google rank every five minutes (not least because there’s not much to shout about) but once a year seems acceptable. Previous two years’ figures are in brackets, last year’s first.
