Manchester Blog Awards shortlist

For anyone who was visiting Mars yesterday: I'm on the 2009 Manchester Blog Awards shortlist
This has made me very, very happy.

I'm glad that some of the blogs I read regularly are also shorlisted:
Cynical Ben
Forgetting the Time
My Shitty Twenties (twice!)
Dave Hartley’s Weblog
I thought I told you to wait in the car
Big city, little girl

Congratulations everyone!

Thank you to my other reader for nominating me. Thank you to the shortlisters.

This is a photograph of me not being able to skim stones because they are the wrong sort of rock (Millstone Grit). But fate will have to work harder than that to get me down today; I'm on a shortlist and when I've stopped messing I'm going to get ready to travel to Oxford to attend a Continuing Education weekend course called Neaderthals in the 21st Century. It's my birthday and Christmas presents until forever - and that's fine.

Thanks for your lovely comment DD

I must calm down a bit now though. I sound like Gwyneth Paltrow gushing away in that post and I've only been shortlisted for goodness sake (I think it's that I've led a relatively sheltered life so far).

I like your photo.

Good luck I'll be thinking about you.

Thanks for the lovely invite. Only i don't know your email address (clicking on your name hyperlink is giving me an error message I'm afraid. Maybe that's just me. Do get in touch again.
