Awards

These awards are definitely reasons to be cheerful. Getting awards is marvellous for the morale, exciting for the ego, superlative for the self. The embarrassing thing is that some of them date back a little while, so I apologise for being slow in collecting them. It's partly because I keep writing blog posts which are on the long side already, and I haven't wanted to make them even longer by adding an award to the bottom. It's partly because anything which involves uploading images is inherently a bit scary - but as you will see, I've overcome the fear, and can now display brightly coloured little squares on my blog with the best of them.

A big thank you to all who have bestowed the awards on me. Please don't think that the delay in collecting them is an indication of ingratitude. I also have a nasty niggling feeling that I have missed somebody, and if that is the case, I apologise and hope you'll be lenient. Again, take it as a sign of incompetence, not ingratitude.

Shall I just shut up now and show you the awards?

Oo er Missus. Intellectually stimulating. Or was that intellectually simulating, perhaps?

Look at them, standing obediently in a tidy column. Lovely. Thank you all.
