The power of Schmooze

Hey, I won an award. Shout it from the rooftops. My first one. And all because the wonderfully talented Di gave it to me.

It's a Blogging Community Involvement Award and the idea is you pass it on to 5 people who in your opinion have contributed to the blogging community.

So here goes:

And the winners are:

Thursday's Child for just well, um being Thursday.

Farmgirl Fayre for brightening the days of so many with her animal tales, delicious recipes and of course her daughter Cary.

Joshilyn for being a scream and making us laugh with every word.

Liverpool Leftovers for blogging despite all her adversity and loss.

And finally:

I know Di already has this award but really I want to award it again to her as without her inspiration I would not be doing this. Reason enough I guess.

PS My HTML edit still doesn't work so appologies about the poor layout.

Playing catch up

The last week has been a whirlwind, a funeral, a flower show, a lot of hammering and banging and I seem to have been shopping almost every day, either for birthday presents (6 birthdays THIS week) or electrical stuff for the new house. Oh and I bought the living room curtains TWICE. I didn't realise I had the first pair until I put the second pair away. DUH.

Anyway life should get a little more calm now, before the storm of a trip to Denmark, Hayseed Dixie AND Status Quo on the same bill at Dudley Castle, a trip to Cornwall, a possible trip to Greece and moving house. All before the end of September. Whew.

No more time to type tonight, but I have some interesting news tomorrow, it's connected with Diane Shipley. Can you guess?
