Look! Four weeks in a row that I've managed to write a post - and I've got a couple more thoughts floating around my head (if only I could remember what they are).
Recently, I had a look at my WordPress statistics for the first time in ages and I thought it would be interesting to see what people had read this year. I'll be honest, I stole the idea of writing a post about it from Sarah at MumofThree World.
So here are my 10 most read posts of 2023.
1. What to pack for a Eurocamp holiday
Yeah, I didn't write this with the intention of targeting views or Google search results but that's what it's done. It's had almost 10 times more views than the next one on the list. I think/hope it's actually useful - I certainly referred back to it for this summer's holiday.
Well he's not, he's 8 and a half now. This was the 2022 birthday post and it seems to be getting a trickle of Google search hits for no known reason. It's a lovely description of our smaller child and he remains an absolute sweetheart.
Another older post that seems to still get attention - I didn't write up a full blow by blow progress report in 2023 since we were there. It looks like 2024 will be the same, we'll be too in the thick of the action to have time to cover our picks and their results.
This year rugby has got serious in our house. Large boy had his surgery for an osteoid osteoma in September and has since turned into a scrum half playing machine. I've got preparing to watch them play down to a fine art, weather dependent of course.
I shared this for Mother's day in the UK back in March 2023, having originally written it in 2019. Nevertheless it tells you about some amazing real-world women who in spire me and why.
I somehow ran pas post 500 this year, only to then take a break from blogging for several months. However, I did take stock of what blogging has brought me over the previous 4 years and why I keep doing it.
I seem to be incapable of doing everything - and that's fine. If I'm blogging more, my running unintentionally drops off - more because I get sick, run less and therefore blog more than anything more directly linked. Similarly, when I run more, I have less time for blogging (hence the hiatus this summer and autumn).
Finding a reliable way to expose large boy to unbiased news of real substance (as opposed to Google promoted, pre-selected based on interests, junk), remains a challenge. But these were the things we investigated back in March.
Even at the start of 2023, we had a bunch of health stuff going on. I had my typical winder colds, himself had ankle surgery and large boy's leg had started to cause trouble.
As the years go on, I do feel that my truck has a major failing - it is not green at all. I mean, it's red but it's also not good for the environment. I don't think there are any hybrid or electric truck options available, though I hear there are some in the works. Nevertheless, the fuel economy is dire. However, that doesn't counteract all the things I love about my truck. It is extremely practical.
