Seven hundred

 This'll be the 700th post on this blog. Woo! Or maybe not so woo, as I've been doing it for over 15 years, so that averages out to about 45 odd posts per year. But 3.75 posts per month sounds better, as that would imply about one per week.

The actual numbers are quite different, as nearly all my years are below average, with my lowest being 2014 when I only did five posts for the whole year. Not surprising considering what I was doing that year! My average is pushed up by two good years, 2008 and 2015 which both had over a hundred posts (101 and 116 respectively). Followed closely by 2009 (75) and 2007 (69, lol).

Is this good or bad? I don't think raw numbers really matter, as I could easily post 365 times a year by setting up an automatic script that publishes a randomly generated post each day but doesn't actually say anything. I like not feeling obligated to post "filler" posts to make up numbers.

To avoid this being a filler post (or worse, a maths post!) here's this weekends' project: get sunburnt! Actually, the project was help clean up the garden, the catalyst was not putting on sunscreen, so the result was burnt shoulders and back of neck. Dang.

This post brought to you by aloe vera gel, which I'm liberally applying to my sunburn in an effort to reduce the damage.

Gone analogue!

For that retro feel!

My previous watch was on the way out. The watch itself was fine, but the band had previously perished and the replacement band that I jury rigged to put in there was a cheapy which was on the way out again.

Since it wasn't worth spending money on buying another band, and the sockets where the band mounts were getting damaged I figured it was time to get a new watch.

I was looking at buying another cheapy from a local store or online when my wife surprised me with a watch. It has an analogue face instead of digital. Digital is my preferance (probably just me being lazy) so using analogue is a touch more effort - but got a new watch!

Lost a day...

Today was supposed to be my day off from work but ended up spending most of the day working on various side projects and didn't get any of the things on my list done.

Double dissapointment as starting next week I'll be working six days a week. Need to make sure I keep up with the jogging, and more importantly - more push ups. Need to keep fit. Mind you, I also need to eat more...
