many thanks to all of you who stopped by for a read or a comment and took a seat at the sydney opera house with me this year. best, beth
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 26,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 10 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Congrats Beth – well deserved..think I was in the front row (the little Aussie sheila clapping madly)
HAPPY NEW YEAR now 12:36am… deep breath another journey begins 🙂 xx
