I noticed today that I’m on course to smash my record for the most number of blog postings in a calendar year. Anyone would think I’ve had lots of extra things going on to write about or something…..
I
think it would be great if I could top 250. That would be a nice sense of
achievement, and is easily do-able based on my output thus far. All being well,
and assuming I don’t have a catastrophic stroke or accidentally cut my hands
off with a pencil, I should have broken last year’s total later this month.
That’s amazing really – beating my previous best with more than a month to
spare!
(Yes,
I know, I’m brilliant)
I’m
not saying I’m a modern-day Shakespeare (although you may call me that if you
wish) but after previously getting hassled by a High School teacher for
constantly handing in homework late, it’s nice to feel a little bit prolific in
my own way (so screw you, Mr Robertson.)
In
other news, we have de-scared all the garages and packed away the Hallowe’en
stuff ready for next October. I’ve left out most of the unsold confectioneries
with a ‘Perfect for Bonfire Night’ label on them and 50% off. People have
already complained about the drop in price happening the day after
Trick-or-Treating, but stuff ‘em. If they’ve reached adulthood without sussing
out the way consumerism works that’s their fault. Hey, guess what Nimrods?
Almost everything you buy in December will be double the price that it will be
in January! What a shocker. It’s the same everywhere, every year. The only way
to beat the system is to accept it and plan around it. If I was them I’d be
stocking up on cheap chocolates now before the prices ramp up nearer Christmas.
(and preferably from one of my garages!)
Have
a good weekend.
