I am so lucky! People like my blog!! In fact, some people love my blog! See?
Here is my latest award - the ‘I Love Your Blog’ award, from my good blogging friend Babs, of Beetle’s Memories and Ramblings.  Thank you so much, Babs, I love your blog too, as you know.
Now, I have to share the love and nominate seven other bloggers whose blogs I love. That’s beginning to sound like a tongue-twister, isn’t it?
Before I get too tangled up in words, let me introduce (if you don’t know them already) -
The View From This End - ‘This End’ for Moannie, is the ‘end’ of life that she finds herself at now. I very much enjoy her mixture of reminiscences, philosophy and humour. Moannie, I love your blog!
The Last Visible Dog - Katharine lives in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. She is an artist, and a photographer, and she posts such interesting snippets about this that and the other, and she can be very funny. Katharine, I love your blog, too!
Geri Atric - writes an intelligent and gently amusing blog about ordinary things, like Gatwick Airport, keyboards with sticky letters, automated supermarket checkouts and Omega 3 fatty acids. She says what a lot of us think, only with more wit and style. I love it!
Midlife Misfit - A delightful mix of musings, funny stories, conversation and fun. Janice is funny and sharp. I think you’ll love it.
Holding Patterns - Extremely well-written tales of yore, usually side-splittingly funny and sometimes a little sad. You may find yourself trying to cringe and laugh at the same time. Sandi - I love your blog!
Life is All Cobblers - Interesting mix of human interest, rants, irony, politics, ramblings .. you never know what you’ll find when you visit! I love it.
My Dad’s a Communist - A relatively new one for me, but I do love it. A self-confessed middle aged woman with a .. what did she call it? … a ‘Girls’ Grammar School voice, and radiating respectability’. But trust me, you’d never think it. She is not stuffy, self-righteous or boring. Not in the least!
I went to a Girls’ Grammar School but I’m not sure I radiate respectability. Not sure why I thought you wanted to know that, but there you go.
Anyway. I’m going to add my usual thing here. I love getting these awards and I love to pass them along to my blogging friends when I have time, but I’m aware that some people find it difficult, or for whatever reason, don’t like to take part. That’s fine. If you are one of those people and you don’t want to get into the whole blog award/linking thing, I won’t be offended in the slightest. Feel free to display the picture if you want to anyway.
If you want to play by the rules, find seven other bloggers whose blogs you love, and let them know in their comments section that they’ve been chosen.
What’s not to love, Jay? This is a great blog!
Peace - D

Heh- Jeri Atric is a great blog name. I’ll have to check some of these folks out.
And congrats to you, Jay, on your awards. I had the pleasure of meeting Babs just recently, when visiting her site for the first time and seeing she, too, knew you and Drowsey and Kathy from the Junk Drawer– it’s a small Internet sometimes!

Thanks for the award and your kind words Jay. Haven’t got round to posting anything new since I arrived home from my Scottish holiday. Still picking midges out of my ears (and I think they are clogging up my brain too). Actually, family matters have priority at the moment but I thoroughly enjoy popping in here from time to time to brighten up my day!

Babs - beetles last blog post..Mushroom Army - Mystery solved!
River Poet, Sandy, and Valerie - Thank you for your kind words!
Jenn T - Thanks! Yes, it is a small world, isn’t it? I guess we gravitate towards like-minded people!
JJ - I’m glad I made your day! That’s part of the fun of awards, isn’t it? And also introducing people (and being introduced) to new blogs!
Sandi - Very glad to have made you happy too! And I’m pleased that you like the other blogs. I often pick out a few to visit from the blogrolls of others that I visit. I think if I like this blog, and the person who writes it likes these blogs, maybe I’ll like them too!
Geri Atric - Ah, those midges!! If you hadn’t said anything else I would have suspected that you’d been to Scotland! LOL!
Did you have a good time?
Mr N - Damn - my secret is out! Yes, yes! I admit it! Constant greasing of palms is the secret to blog success! ROFL!!
Katharine - Aw, that’s sweet of you! But I’m stunned that you haven’t had an award yet! I feel honoured to be the first.
Babs - Sorry it took me so long to get this up here. I do so agree - it’s a great way to find new blogs! Thanks again, Babsie!
Well congratulations, I love your blog too! I’m not one for awards but it’s always nice to know you’re liked by your peers. Cheers
Congratulations. Add me to the “love your blog” crowd.
Ruth Hull Chatliens last blog post..And the Walls Came Tumbling Down
Baino and Ruth - Thanks! You know I love your blogs too, don’t you?
Thank you so much for the award, Jay - that’s great and I always enjoy reading yours too. Just catching up - - been in Paris for the weekend (working but still fantastic - - notice how casually I mention it as though I jet off most weekends?!!) Not true! Anyway, many thanks!
