What with one thing and another April has been a bumper month for readers by my relatively modest standards: nearly 13,000 Unique Visitors recorded and still a few hours to go.

Especially pleasing is that some 3000 visits have stayed around here for up to an hour - or more.

Today I did a Motivational Map as run by James and Linda Sale. I came out as a firm Creator:

You are somebody who breaks barriers - brings into existence what wasn't there before ... You tend to be optimistic and can persevere in adversity...

Which, needless to say, I knew already after nearly 28 consecutive FCO annual appraisals noting that I tended to have 'too many ideas'.

At least it helps keep this site pumping out material which a discerning, wise and intelligent readership (this includes YOU, reader) appears to appreciate.

Many thanks.
