Finger injury, the exciting finale

 





Oh, hi.


You're probably here to check in on how the blog promotion is going.

We promised that if this blog managed to get to a benchmark of one million subscribers I was going to show a picture of my bruised finger. But, I mean, look who I'm telling about the million subscribers and the picture of my hurt finger! You've probably visited clerkmanifesto every five minutes for the past four days to see if we've hit this benchmark. 

I mean, I would've.

But you know as well as I do that one million is a lot of subscriptions.

So let's check in:



On day one we were at 37 subscribers. 



Day two boosted dramatically to 37 subscribers. 



And on day three we dropped a bit (that kind of rapid rise was never going to be sustainable) to 36 subscribers. 



But because day four is the last day to hit our reveal number this is it! Today is the day that really counts, and today is the day we've all been waiting for. 

Did we make it?

How many subscribers did clerkmanifesto get to, and was it enough?




I'm so nervous I feel a little nauseous. I'm all hot too.

Let's just check our subscriber list.




Here it is, day four.




The current number of clerkmanifesto email subscribers is:





37.














We did it!





WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE DID IT!





Oh my god! We really did it!

















What a journey.


Thank you.


Thank you to all of you.

    It's at its peak of beauty now, and, like the glorious rose, its beauty will fade. I am stunned, grateful to witness its majesty and so, so, so glad we made it to 37!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

    1. Me too. It was touch and go there for a moment. I'm delighted you're impressed by the finger injury. So, interestingly, possibly only to me and you, but the injury is now more than a week old, the picture is probably five days old, but it still looks EXACTLY THE SAME!

      I mean, wouldn't you think it would grow up the nail, or fade, or anything? But no. It's like I'm tatoo'd! It's like I'm marked forever. It's like I have a new friend.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
