Huzzah!

Hey, in a random, non-fact-filled post, I'm here to inform you that on the 28th of April - i.e. the post date of the last post - my latest blog, 'Trifling Facts' collected as many posts as my first blog! (At least I'm pretty sure it was my first blog). But anyway, if you wish to read my first ever blog just click here.

NB: 'Trifling Facts' no longer contains the same number of posts as my first ever blog . . . juts in case you can't read and/or do maths.
