As you all know I write this blog with the hope that readers may be able to take something from reading it. Knowledge, help, a laugh, reassurance, whatever it is, as long as it helps it makes it worth writing. I consider myself very lucky to have many readers from different parts of the world, and a group of dedicated followers. Without your continued reading and support there would be no reason to keep it going, I try to write informatively with a light-hearted tone that makes it easy reading for anyone. I would like to thank you all for following my progress for the last 12 months and hope that you will join me on my journey through 2013!
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 7,100 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 12 years to get that many views.

Well, I know one reader, only lately arrived, who had benefited enormously from your blog.
Thank you very much Rodney :)
