Fifty

- Well. Here we are. The fiftieth post.
- Fiftieth?
- Yes. Post number fifty.
- Right. I hadn't really been keeping track...
- It is quite an achievement. Don't you think?
- Of course, of course... Fifty, did you say?
- Yes. You don't seem that impressed?
- Goodness, no, on the contrary. An achievement, definitely. I mean – well, fifty. Not everyone can say they've chalked up fifty.
- Quite.
- Fifty posts?
- Yes.
- As in – this blog thing?
- Yes. What other posts were you thinking of?
- That's impressive. Definitely. An achievement.
- Thank you.
- Only...
- Yes?
- It's not as if –
- Yes?
- I mean, it's not as if – well, it's not exactly War and Peace. Is it?
- Well, no. Clearly. But then, it's not meant to be.
- Of course.
- Not quite conceived on the same scale. Just meant to be a few idle comments. About life. And things... You know.
- I didn't mean – After all, it's fifty posts more than I've managed.
- Quite.
- It's just that it might be a bit more lively with a few cannons here and there.
- I could try introducing some cannons if it would help. An occasional battle scene?
- It was just an idea. Think about it.
