This is it, my final post where I will allow mediocrity to rule. Tomorrow, my 3,000th post, will have to be a lot better. Yes, I know it’s only a number, but there are some numbers which make you want to try harder. This is one of them. When I get to 3,001 I won’t feel quite the same, but I’m going to try to maker more effort in future.
I’m even taking a leaf out of LA’s book and planning ahead, because she is a well known planner. Here is my plan for next week.
- 3,000th post. Write something good.
- 3,001. And again.
- Probably write an informative piece about world peace. Though possibly not that informative, and possibly a different subject.
- Stare at screen wondering where my life went wrong.
- Don’t blog. Watch TV.
- Blog about watching TV instead of blogging.
- Blog a list, pretending that I have a plan for 7 days and that I am going to keep to it. This is one of my tried and tested time wasting techniques.
It’s likely that I may fail with Number 1, but I reckon if I can make it to Number 4 I’m in with a chance of seeing the week out.
Based on events in Number 7 I’m going to add Number One of next week’s list.
1 Write a reflective report revealing the relaxing nature of writing alliteratively.
And with that, I will add a bit of fluff to the bottom of this post, hit my pitifully low self-declared word limit and go to bed.
High point of the day: hot buttered toast, made to perfection. It seems so simple but it’s hard to do. It could well be another year before I get it right again.
Low point of the day: just now. When writing this I realised that somewhere along the line I seem to have lost the urge to add un-necessary capital letters to things. I could go back and write “High Point of the Day” but it all seems so meaningless . . .
A man that is tired of Capital Letters is tired of Life, as they say.

So far I have managed to not post my 3,000th blog, due to a bad arm. But apart from that the list progresses well. 🙂
What happened to your arm?
Lists a re good. I just have to remember to look at mine. 🙂
I noted some stiffness in the elbow during the afternoon and by 4pm it was painful, stiff and couldn’t take any weight. This continued all evening. I took paracetamol and ibuprofen, slept well and in the morning it was much better. Repeated the dose this morning and though it’s slightly tende all seems to have returned to normal.
Yes. my diet, my exercise regime and my lists all dpend on my memory, and it is failing . . .
Don’t give up!
🙂
That looks like a very sound list. It is at least achievable unlike our great leader Mr Sunak’s wish list.
Thanks for the mention, and the amusement!!💗💗
The big day approaches! Wonderful cat picture.
Thank you, I am limbering up now . . .
Dreaming – not dealing
Now you have me dealing of Wind in The Willows. I hope you know why
I re-read the post again and got a sense of Mole wandering off for an adventure after getting fed up of Spring Cleaning. Though I could be wrong. 🙂
Hot buttered toast
Ah! Now I see. 🙂 It is one of the finest things in life.
I enjoy using Capital Letters too. They add a little form and dare I say it, Pizzazz to a wrtten article. Don’t give up on them.
I promise I will Persist in the use of Un-necessary Capitalisation. 🙂
Hurrah! 😀
😉
Both of your cat pictures are lovely. And congratulations on 2999 posts. That’s quite a number. Looking forward the the next 1000.
Well said, Jodie!
🙂
Thanks, Clare. <3
Thank you. I’m just warming up for the 3,000th now. 🙂 The cats, unfortunately, are stock pictures.
Still cute.
I suppose you’re talking about the cat rather than me, but thank you anyway. 🙂
Am I the only one who is on tenterhooks? Or is that just an effect of time difference? Or an exaggeration.
It’s a number of things, though I actually missed posting last night, which hasn’t helped. Don’t get your hopes up . . . 🙂
