Blogpost No. 650 - nearly five years of blah-di-blah!

This posting is my 650th on the blog.

In two weeks, the blog will have lasted five years to date.

Percy's Depressed started on January 31, 2005.

In 2007, it changed to Chocolate Court, to mark the fact that we lived near Chocolate Lake in Halifax.

Just under a year ago, in honour of our new home, it changed again to Essays from East Lawrencetown. Which is a little clunky, and doesn't get as much drive-by traffic as something with chocolate in the title, but it's fine, and I'm not using this blog to market myself, I am using it to get rid of my writer's itch.

We bought our house a year ago tomorrow, by the way, I cannot believe we have owned it a year already.  Here's a picture of the deer we share it with!


According to the site meter, which has had to be re-installed many times, I have had 16,500 visitors in the last 27 months. So that works out at about 16 - 20 a day I think, which puts me in the 'millions of other half-assed bloggers' list (below A-list, B-list, C-list, and up-and-coming list).

Personally, I am astounded that I am soon going to be able to say that I stuck at something (other than my education) for more than five years.

GO QUEENIE!!!!!!!!!!!
