Enough dramatics.
The logo has been chosen - offically through the vote, but also by Lady M, who last week successfully guessed the outcome and posted it on her blog. Had the chosen logo differed from her choice I would have asked her to change it (which may, or more likely, may not have worked). But as she got it right, we'll chalk it up to female intuition.
So the logo is:
Although I may mess around with fonts and layout in weeks to come. It's all this time I have....But on to this week's award. Yesterday, among other things, was also my mother's birthday. Happy Birthday Granny!
Which meant that I specifically wanted to find a blog that she would enjoy. The criteria were - funny, warm, posts not too long (my mum is a busy working granny) and clever. And I thought she might enjoy one of my favourites - Drunk Mummy. Please understand that this is no reflection of my mother's drinking habits - her initials are PMW, with the 'M' being for 'Moderation'. Although there was that incident when she discovered vodka and Red Bull at a function in Jo'burg....
But we digress. Drunk Mummy writes a fantastic blog with lots of warmth, humour and advice. The advice portion is strictly about wine. But, fortunately, in the world of Drunk Mummy, there is a bottle for all occasions - house cleaning, camping, swimming in Welsh waters all warrant a glass.
Her style is laid back and light. It's a bit like having a chat with a really good mate. I always leave with a smile on my face. And if you don't, well, you could always drown your sorrows in her recommended tipple.
Mom, you might not be able to actually get your hands on any of the wine suggestions (my mum lives in Cape Town) but I'm sure you can find some suitable substitutes (I repeat, she's in Cape Town).
PS What with the dodgy broadband, this post has taken me four and a half hours to put together. Let it never be said that I am not a dedicated blogger!

You see, I KNEW good taste would prevail. :-)
Excellent choice! Drunk Mummy is just as you describe her.
How is the move coming along? When can I expect you?
I have complete sympathy with you. I have nothing but trouble with technology. It takes real dedication in the face of such difficulty to prevail over the problems.
Great choice - I love Drunk Mummy's site. She is an ace blogger.
Gosh, that must be difficult, your mum's birthday and the anniversary you wrote about at the weekend coming so close together.
Sorry to hear about your broadband issues. My husband works in IT and even so, this stuff drives me demented! Good to see you back.
And by the way, thank you again for the comments on my site earlier in the month about security at nurseries.
After what you wrote, I got in touch with daughter's nursery to relay your suggestion and they are doing as I suggested! So I'm very pleased.
Hi Lady M - indeed good taste did prevail. Packers are here next week but we only leave on 2 Sept. Alas Bambi and I are going via Dubai...
Yes Gwen, dedicated. That's me!
Hi Mother at large. So you connected the dots - same day in fact. Mum and I celebrated her birthday while she was over visiting - 39 again!
Hi TGW, excellent choice. I've been thinking I should try some of DM's wine choices as well.
A big week for you coming up, good luck, looking forward to hearing all about it when you have the time and broadband speed to post!
I love drunk mummy's blog too! when is she back?! yes, good luck with the moving...
Sparx - thanks for the good wishes. All a bit hectic right now so am commenting more than posting - which is possibly some sort of blogging crime but gives me just enough of a fix each day.
Elsie - she said August which means.....soon! Yay!
Thank you so much for this lovely award, and the extremely kind things you said about my blog!
I hope your Mum had a great birthday.
Sorry to be so late in getting back to thank you.
I was very pleased to be recommended to someone's mum - it makes me feel that I might have achieved at least a thin veneer of respectability!
