Happy Birthday Dear Blog…..



Today is my blog’s second birthday!

Two years ago I was waiting to go into hospital to have my right knee replaced and my friend Queenie talked me into starting a blog to keep a record of how the operation and recovery went.


I started off posting practically every day about Everything and Nothing (hence my blog name) but now I usually only post four times per week and two of those posts are regular memes – 55 Flash Fiction and Saturday Wordzzles. You may have noticed I have posted every day recently, that is because I wanted to reach 500 posts by my blogversary and I managed it, this is my 500th post and I've had 55,200+ visitors!

Anyway to help me celebrate please take a piece of cake and a glass of bubbly and who knows, this time next year I may still be here!

My, you are a long way in front of me. Novice, but learning all of the time. Lovely blog, will be back. (Interesting re totals. No way could I do more than two aweek, though I try not to 'do' topical.)
