I was going to post this last week, but I suppose I lost track of it: I’m very proud to mention that, as of mid-April 2023, my blog is twenty years old. The first entry I ever posted, quite randomly about ‘The Return of Empire’, was on 13 April 2003. To be honest I find that astonishing, and I’m very proud indeed to have kept it up. I know my entries aren’t often that long, and know I should post more fulsome, analytical things more often, but I bet you can’t point me towards many other personal weblogs which have been updated so regularly over the past two decades. In fact, I would bet you that if I asked someone to suggest any date over the last twenty years, I would be able to give them a link to a blog entry written either on that day, or within a day of it.
