Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of this blog. Usually, uncannily, I remember after not thinking about it for weeks, like a bolt from the heavens, “What’s the date today?!” This year I kept remembering and, thinking I was totally on top of it, totally forgot yesterday. I was really busy, that’s why.

Anyway, It hasn’t been totally uninterrupted since this summer I took a little maternity leave, and since moving servers around (and Peter’s thinking of moving them again) I have really very little to be able to tell you about traffic, but I can say I have 9,817 posts (not counting this one) 106 drafts (counting this one), 17,618 comments, and a whole bunch of totally awesome regulars, affectionately referred to in these quarters (coined by Red, wasn’t it?) as ninmates.

Anyway guys, ta.
