1600 blogs

Before I get started on the 'hit parade', I want to note that yesterday was a sharav, with temperatures reaching at least 35°C. Today has cooled by about 10°C; about an hour ago we had a thunderstorm and a little rain - the sort of rain that gets one wet but doesn't do much for the vegetation. I wonder what tomorrow's weather will be like.


1600 blogs. Here are the most popular tags, along with their position in the previous 100 blogs.

Well, it's pretty clear that the 11 months and 100 blogs since 8 May 2022 are completely different from the 100 blogs previous to this period. Health has almost dropped off the charts - I've been healthy even since my blood pressure has been balanced, save for a minor incidence of gout that has not returned. 

No more Covid-19 means holidays! Italy! Bari

Unfortunately, the political situation of the past few months in Israel has forced me to write 12 blogs on the topic.

In these past 11 months I've done a great deal of work on my doctorate, performing all the research and writing it up. 

Non-fiction books is a new category, although I've back tagged previous entries; there were 3 entries between 1401 and 1500 that would have put this tag in 18th place.

Only personal and programming have held their position; these are activities that always take place.

There's barely been any blogs about song writing; this is a topic that has almost dropped off the radar. Since May last year, I've completed only one song.

I wouldn't dare make a guess what the next 100 blogs are going to be about.
