The number of cigarettes I've smoked today.

I've been tied down with Company integration issues over the past couple of days and so haven't had time to come up with a fitting celebration for this mini (cameraless) milestone. At least I get a free balloon for the day!

I worked out that if you include travelling time to and from blip locations, and time sorting through photos and time posting and commenting, we must all be averaging 2-3 hours a blip. Because I'm so slow, I reckon I spend 3 hours per blip, which means I've invested 600 hours so far in this project.
If I had instead worked part-time on nights in one of our factories, I could have averaged £10 per hour, which means I could have earned £6,000 instead of blipping. Then I could have bought a brand new EOS 1Ds Mk111.

But hang on, having bought that camera, I wouldn't have anyone to show my pictures to - except Flick and the rest of the family, and I (and they) would soon get tired of photography.

So I'm better off blipping. I've had some great laughs with a lot of wonderful people from all over the world, and also received some top advice. And for that I'm extremely grateful.

A big thank-you to everybody who visits and comments on my journal.
Let's see what the next 100 produces...
