My dashboard informs me that the last was my 1,000th blog post - something of a milestone.
This blog started tentatively in August, 2006, almost three years ago. The frequency of posting has gone up from an average of one a day in early 2007 – when I began blogging in earnest – to over two a day last month.
Sometimes I feel I’ve made something of a rod for my own back, but mostly it’s enjoyable occupational therapy. I still don’t know precisely how many people read me, but I’m frequently surprised when the most unlikely individuals tell me they do.
Here’s to the next 1,000; I hope you’ll stick with me.



Many congratulations – and thank you for providing a readable (and enjoyable) version of political life in Wales.
Congratulations David. Why dont you utilise Google analytics to check your hits and where referrals are coming from? It is actually quite a useful tool and it is free.
I agree. Highly readable and a valuable overview of an effective M.P.’s activities. I just want to see this energy and commitment used in power, instead of opposition, as soon as possible. Roll on the election.
