HNT 15 - and 20,000 hits

I can’t believe it myself, but yesterday afternoon What Doesn’t Kill You received its 20,000th hit – drum roll for Kimberley, who unfortunately didn’t leave a return address with her comment, but who would otherwise have got something rather special. Kimberley, if you read this let me have your email address and/or blog URL so that I can pay you the appropriate homage and/or send you a little something.

I remember saying after hit no. 10,000 that I never set out with the intention of gathering any kind of readership, and I can only thank everyone again for stopping by so often. I try to write from the heart, and hopefully I succeed in this respect. That said, I can only aspire to write as beautifully as some of my fellow bloggers regularly do. And, thank god, for every nut-job out there, there are also dozens of genuine people who offer a little glimpse of their lives, and their thoughts, for the rest of us. Oh, and I think we should have one big party at Chez WDKY when the needle hits 50,000 – what do you say?

In all the excitement, I nearly forgot that the whole purpose of this post was to celebrate HNT yet again. So, I give you my hand, and the interior of my Alfa… a beast of a sports car, with – sadly – very little interior room for any real exposure to be undertaken. But you should hear the roar of that engine…

Happy HNT

Oh, and one more for KOW...

It would be totally un-American of me if I didn't say "Hey, your steering wheel is on the wrong side!!"

Alfa Romeo huh? Verrrry good taste in horse power my dear. I dearly love the purr of a V-8 or V-12. It is almost as good as sex...ok, not really. But damned close!

Nice Hand...I think every woman enjoys the sexiness of smooth and well tanned hands.

*sigh*

Happy HNT T!

Your wrist looks thick and strong, I like that! My first thought was how I could reach back and grab a hold during... :)

20k is amazing - but it wouldn't be the same without the nut-jobs! ;)

Nice pic - although, having the steering wheel on the other side did throw me off for a second. I guess I tend to forget you're on the other side of the pond.

Gratz, you, and happy HNTing. :)

So, is there room for hanky panky in the alfa?

Hi Mez... thanks so much, I see you had a good look around :-)

I popped over to yours too, and will devote some time to it properly later - you write beautifully, though.

lol, oh god. The stats thing sort of ends up making one feel like a child who has been looking where she shouldn't.
..and thanks.

You'll be more welcome, Serendipity, but no dog-ends on the carpet (you'll have to stand in the garden with me). And you weren't paying attention, I was referring you to no. 10!

Nice alfa.. I had the pleasure of renitng a 147 for a week a couple of weeks ago and was rather impressed with it's interior and general 'zippyness'.. I would gather that yours excells in every department. :) Still needs forced induction however ;)
