This is my 100th post in 100 Days. It’s over. Done. Kaput.

In that time, one hundred and twenty-one of you lovely beans have subscribed to the Daily Grapefruit. Some of you have followed along the way and left comments or recommended my work. I’m grateful for your encouragement.

A lot has happened over the past 100 days.

I’m taking a break now. The Grapefruit is going on holidays for at least two weeks. Maybe a whole month. I need time to write longer pieces and submit to literary magazines and things. (Hello Queen Mob. I promised I would write you something, like, two months ago. Now I really have to.)

But I’ll be back. I can’t stay away from you for too long.

In the meantime, here are my top 20. (If you want to trawl through the grapefruit archives, you’ll find plenty of bloopers as well.)
