When I checked my counter this morning, it read 29,927. That set me wondering if I could possibly reach 30,000 by midnight to end the year off on a ’round number’!
I tweeted at one o’clock-
and then again (after prompting for a URL!) at 2 o’clock by which time I’d had another 30 hits!

Thanks to Fiona for taking the screenshot at the top and for alerting the world to my mishaps!

Gracias amigos xx

“In Spain, on New Year Eve, we eat 12 grapes at the sound of the 12 last strokes of the year… one stroke, one grape, one stroke, one grape…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!”
Thanks Camino Z for this!

If you have any favourites, perhaps you’d like to share them in the comments below? I’m getting quite into this poster making malarky! ;o)
