I know that a number of close friends, relatives and former work colleagues regularly read my blog. I know it is not always the most rivetting read.

On average, I get between 10 and 40 views a day.

But on Tuesday 9 October there were 120 views. I find it hard to understand that there are that many people in the world who would be interested in me, let alone the Furniture buying in Doha post the day before.
