Numbers

282 dead in the mining disaster at Soma
100 miners still missing
76 days until the deadline for my dissertation
50 days until teachers are free for the summer
36 days until students are done
and
500 Blips today - who would have thought it?

To all my friends who look at my journal, thank you. Really. I am humbled by your generosity, energised by your enthusiasm, educated by your skill and inspired by your talent.
I am here for life.
