18,000 days of diary

After several failed attempts, I managed to start keeping a diary when I was 12 and my first entry was on Sunday 31 December 1961. Since then, I’ve never missed a single day. This means that now I’m in the 50th year of diary writing and that today marks my 18,000th entry.

For eight years, I’ve been running this blog and I post something almost every day. But, of course, the diary is very private while the blog is very public.
