3000

This will be my 3000th blip, even though I'm backblipping from January and in not a very logical order.

I used to mark these occasions with intricately planned fancy celebratory blips but the way I use this site has changed in the 8 years (!) I've been using it. 2016 was the first year (ok, apart from 2 days in December '08) that I left gaps empty in my calendar and only uploaded when I had something to share. I think I'm ok with that.

In the end it matters more that I capture moments like this. So I can remember Harry picking the spot next to the plate of mince pies, or how much he had to bend his knees to hug my tiny grandma. The mulled cider I had with an episode of Blackadder, or the faint ridiculousness of two vegetarians cluelessly cooking chicken.

Merry Christmas, happy new year and thank you to you all.
