SALLY..PART 155. CONGRATULATIONS TO ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA FOR BECOMING MY 100TH COUNTRY IN WHICH I'M READ !

Well who would have thought it eh ? A reader in Antigua and Barbuda has made history for his country come alive by making it the 100th country in which I am read !
It's taken nearly four years and 50,000 readers but now the landmark has been reached and will probably NOT be celebrated in that country, this country or in fact ANY country !
I don't want a dismissive TUT from my wife or so I won't even bother mentioning it to her but secretly I feel proud of myself !

Onwards and upwards into even greater obscurity !

Sally..Part 154. 99 COUNTRIES AND COUNTING ! SO WHICH ONE WILL BECOME THE ONE HUNDREDTH ONE IN WHICH I'M READ ?

NO-ONE HAS EVER TURNED UP TO MY WIDELY ADVERTISED READINGS BUT THAT HAS NEVER STOPPED ME GOING AHEAD WITH THEM ! I CERTAINLY MAKE ME LAUGH !
Well who would have thought that I would ever be asking THAT question ?

Certainly not me when I set out a few years ago to write things as I saw them.

I blame everything on my mother who sailed through life in a dream in which she really believed everyone  would be fascinated by her permanently carried collection of ancient family photos and my wife who through her complete lack of good judgement ended up spending, so far, 43 years with an idiot !

I actually set out to make people laugh, especially my wife and I succeeded but had no idea how much loathing, anger and resentment I would stir up in other parts of the family !

It is, after all, MY view and a little insight into the past for the generations who will follow in about a hundred years or so if the technological companies allow Blogs to remain accessible.

I have very few copies in 'Notebook' and have yet to discover a way of printing all the Blogs into a handholdable form together with their photo.

ANYONE know if that would be possible ?
