Raining awards...

...which makes a nice change!

What a fantastic and fruitful morning of blog visits! Lots of good reading and....drumroll... TWO awards!

People like me! They really like me! I think. Well, at least they've started giving me stuff to put in my sidebar. I'll take that!

Firstly, I picked up this little beaut from Lady MacLeod:


I'm a little concerned that she interpreted my Award from A Broad as schmoozing....wait...okay, it was a bit schmoozy. So that's okay then!

And then I got this one from Kaycie:

for 'generous bloggers who think of others'. Which, given the amount of incredibly useful information I've got from other bloggers makes me feel like a bit of a fraud.

Truly, thank you both so much. I've been a bit erratic at posting lately - move stuff - which makes for some great ideas for posts but leaves little time to actually write the suckers. So to be getting this recognition makes me feel really inspired to try harder.

These are awards for passing on so for blogger schmooze (which is actually a blogging community award) I nominate:

Elsie Button and

Who all keep me in laughter and comments. Which gets to the heart of what I look for in my community!

For the Thoughtful Blogger award, I have been very lucky to have received very real assistance from a few fellow bloggers - very generous indeed so:

Reluctant Memsahib - thank you for the information about Nairobi.

Debio - thank you for the tips on Dubai.

Jenny - thank you for showing me how to make jam!

Now polish them nicely and put them on your sidebar....

Many, many congratulations on your awards. You're indeed a very thoughtful blogger and your comments are also very welcome - though I still haven't a clue as to how you manage to do it all with everything else going on in your life. So. Well done. Just remember to keep up with the polishing... We'll all be checking.

Hi Omega Mum. Reading other blogs is something I really enjoy - a pleasure in the true sense.

Thank you Laurie - you're right about posting more often - I should, but somehow can't right now.

The Good Woman said...

Thanks Elsie and Annie. See you soon...

Oh! Oh, you schmoozer you... if someone else had given me this I'd have passed it directly on to you! Your award (which is about to go up on my shelf) needs an aware itself for being such a good idea!!!
