I just noticed this blog had its 7,000th post in the last day.

The first post was in June 2006 so that's near enough 1,400 a year or more than 3.8 a day since then.

I should take up a hobby!

Actually - I have - I'm playing the clarinet again for the first time in years with my first exam in 29 years and first music exam in 37 years coming up in 2 weeks time. Which is a lot scarier than appearing before the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee tomorrow, I can tell you!
