It seems I am once again honoured with a blogging award — this time from the wonderful thebeadden! It’s always nice to have one’s efforts appreciated. Thank you!

Over the next few days I will be passing the award along to eight of my favourite blogs. So… now might be a good time to start sucking up













I can’t think of anyone more deserving! And that’s not sucking up, I mean it!
congrats Gary.
Thanks, both of you! Anyone care to shine my shoes?
Well, given the amount of use they get, it wouldn’t be too big a job… Nyuk nyuk nyuk…
I can shine shoes, iron shirts and make a lovely cup of tea. All at the same time.
Mike: just for that, you can give my tyres a retread, you little southern shit
Lottie: ah yes, but you can’t keep that bloody husband of yours in line, can you?
You’re welcome, Gary. And thank you for having great material. Even though I don’t comment much, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your site.
I really appreciate that. Thank you again. I always try to keep this place lively and, on occasion, challenging. It can be difficult to know if you’re hitting the mark — but together with the comments I get, awards like this make me think I’m doing something right
