Entry for 20th November, 2007

I have now been blogging every day for over a year. If I had not wasted all this time, I could probably have completed a draft of a short novel. If I had gone to the gym instead I would now have the body of a Greek god and would have extended my life expectancy by three years. But I am selfless, and I chose to spend my time entertaining you - my three regular readers. I know that your lives would be all the poorer without reading about my trips to Morrisons or my Thursday night badminton exploits. In many ways my blog is really a charity, although I note that no-one has yet sent me a donation (in spite of the hours and hours of reading pleasure that I have given you). If this is making anyone feel guilty, then I strongly encourage you to send me money. You will feel better. I assure you.
I am also saddened by the fact that none of the Sunday broadsheets has yet offered me a regular column on the strength of the blog. I suspect that the editors are locked in negotiation with their accounts departments over exactly how many zeros should be tacked on at the end of my advance. Of course, I would decline any such offer, preferring the purity of direct communication over the ether with you (yes you!).
At any event it's been fun. Think I can make it two in a row? Can you bear to stay with me to find out?
