I noticed the follower numbers had ticked over to 6,001 this morning.
I usually mark such milestones on my blog by writing about how so many of those followers never actually follow, and why the numbers don’t matter in the least.
But I won’t do that today. 🙂
I will just say a big “THANK YOU!” to everyone who follows this blog.
Best wishes to you all, Pete.

I’m sorry I missed this post in May. I’m glad you redirected me to it. I’m pretty sure that it should be the other way around: we should be thanking you for all the wonderful writing you have done over all these years! I know I’m very thankful I came across your blog, and have been enjoying it ever since. Not only that I’m just very happy I met you in this digital platform and am proud to be able to call you friend😊 Here’s too many more years of blogging!😃

Congrats Pete! Wouldn’t it be nice to have 6,0001 :likes?” I had a celebrity friend comment onsometing of mine the other day, and the first thing she wrote was “As you know, I never comment on social media, but…” and there you have – a “silent majority!”
