Maths was never my strong point

It has been pointed out to me that I have made an error somewhere when it comes to calculating the number of blog postings I may have published online since starting this weird exercise in literary unloading way back in 2007ish.

Yesterday, I talked about hitting 2400 posts, and yet back in February this year I had apparently talked about hitting 2500 posts, leading some readers to wonder whether I am a Timelord, or just a f**kwit.

I hate going back over stuff and re-reading it, but I forced myself to check into what was being said, and here’s what I think has happened: In APRIL 2019, I gave you a blog entitled ‘MMCCC/Triplets’ which was a celebration of my 2300th posting. Two months prior, in FEBRUARY, under the title ‘MMD+I’ I shared some info about the number 2500, thinking that was the amount of postings I had achieved. Having double-checked, the 2300 number was accurate, so I’m summising that in February I read my counter as 2500 when it was actually 2250. A simple mistake, when you’re not paying attention, but one that I admit I should have rectified in the editing process before posting. My only excuse is – I don’t actually have an editing process. I just type this shit up and then hit ‘publish.’ But the numbers add up – 50 posts after posting about 2500 (which was actually 2250) I hit 2300.

So, in conclusion, I think I was probably pissed in February.
