Blog On The Motorway Swan diving off the tongues of crippled giants

Thanks, Birthdays, Comedy and The Mail.

Just a quick one today, work has been hella busy today. It seems that the nation's worst newspaper did a small feature on us over the weekend, leading to a ton of orders.  I've been processing the Internet orders all morning.  On the upside I get to stick my headphones in and listen to the new Coalesce album, downside, every time I enter someones details I know that they are a Daily Mail reader and I find myself wondering what they made of the Jan Moir article.  Oh well.

It's Ellen's birthday today, so this morning was the presents giving event, with Rosie trying to unwrap them all before Ellen could. Frankly though, she's rubbish at it, so Ellen managed to unwrap most of them and Rosie just played with the paper.

Tonight we're off to the theatre. Well, a theatre, to go and see Simon Amstell.  Despite me being a huge fan of stand up, I've not been to see any stand up outside of a festival comedy tent since I did my work experience at Jongleurs comedy club in London in the mid 90's, so I'm really excited.

Also, I've realised that if this week goes as well as recent weeks around here, I will have passed 1000 visitors by the end of this week, which is not bad since I only launched in August.  It took a year and a half to reach this sort of total on the old site, and while I am under no illusions that these numbers make me a rival to any of the blogs I read, it's lovely to know that there are people out there reading. So I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for stopping by, and I'll try to keep up some semblance of quality for you.
