Turmoil and Calm

Posted on by

A decision is needed
What should I do?
Award a lot, or just a few?
I’ve tried to find the easiest way,
Which isn’t easy at all, I must say…
How can I say one is better than the next?
Each one is different, I’m so perplexed…

So, although I’ve ‘kind of’ awarded three
Singling blogs out just isn’t me.

So, although the award I’ve received is great
The burden with it is a bit of a weight.

Instead of filling cyberspace with more awards
I’ll list some great blogs, for your records…

Kate Shrewsday writes some pretty amazing posts, linking seemingly unlinkable things together with great skill. Have a read, you will not be disappointed!

Lady Pen of Poems ‘n Stuff is the lady who made me a knight. Or a sir. Anyway, she is the creator of wonderful short poems ‘n stuff – including tales of fabulous dragons, gargoyles and witches. A great place to allow your imagination and thoughts to roam free!

Laura provides some unlikely explanations about various topics, such as staying calm when locked in a bathroom, the emergence of vampire bees, and several cat related postings. This paragraph does not do her justice – go check out her blog and see for yourself!

My long time blogging friend Bex has plenty to babble about in her blog-come-diary. She writes in a way that picks you up and sweeps you along, and throws in a few movie reviews along the way too!

The Laughing Housewife is a blog I have recently discovered along my little journey, and I am hooked. Tilly Bud has some funny posts over there!

And then there is Diane Henders, whose weekly posts always give me something to think about. Diane nominated me for the versatile blogger award, who was nominated by someone else. And Kate above was also nominated this week too.

So, there we have the fifteen ‘nominations’ from me. I obviously can’t nominate Diane back, so that means there are five others in the blurb above. Six divided by two is three, two plus three is five, and three multiplied by five is fifteen. I know it makes no sense at all, but hey, the numerology fits so who am I to argue?!?

The serious bit.

  • Receiving the award wasn’t a burden, passing it on was.
  • The five posts chosen above have not been picked at random, and some thought has gone in to choosing them. Three of the authors have been notified that I have nominated them, when I realised what I was cluttering up cyberspace.
  • I recommend visiting the other blogs that are listed in my Blogs I Visit page, and although those blogs have not been mentioned here, they wouldn’t be on that page if I didn’t visit them.
  • The Laughing Housewife (as of 29/09/11) is currently not on the Blogs I Visit page, but will be shortly, as will several others, so please return for more links to great blogs!
  • This serious bit isn’t as serious as it first sounded, although the recommendations to the blogs is serious.

  1. Those are great links. I always like discovering new blogs. I discovered yours through Kate’s award, and now some more through yours. Thanks.

  2. Good good. Those blogs are indeed deserving of the award – I’m just glad I don’t have to carry the burden of passing it on yet! And I am very honoured to be on the Blogs I Visit page :D

  3. You are a Knight of the Hereabouts, (thereabouts, every whereabouts) Realm, Sir Aquatom, since who knows when, ‘cos I can remember worrying about cutting your head orf with the sword, but ferzackerly when escapes Brian the brains info collating files.. and I agree ’tis a worrisome deed, passing on the baton, but I cheated… ;-) … Fyrespike rewrote the rules book, and I nominated everyone who passes by…. There’s SUNSHINE outside…and it’s hot… Sigh!! xPenx

    • Pen, it is so hot indeed, isn’t it? And it will be hotter still (more hot?) tomorrow. I remember thinking you were going to chop my head orf too, that day so many moons ago, but luckily you didn’t. Am I a Knight of the Roundabouts? I like the sound of that title…
      And Fyrespike is an expert when it comes to rewriting rules, so everything is in order with the change there.

  5. Yes choices, choices, choices… lol
    The best way is not to bother with these
    awards, I have no use for them whatsoever
    and they used to crop up all the time on
    Windows Live Spaces… Don’t get me wrong,
    for those that enjoy it then that is absolutely
    fine my wickedly great friend, however for
    me personally I find them totally boring…

    Have a wonderful rest of evening and a
    wickedly enjoyable weekend :)

    I too will take a look at the Spaces of your
    choosing and maybe even add a few comments
    as I journey through their Spaces…

    • Thanks, Andro. Some of the links in my ‘blogs I view’ page haven’t been updated for a while, but I can’t remove them from the page as the author may return one day (I don’t think it’s fair to un-recommend someone), but I hope you find something of interest there…

  6. I’m late! I’m late! Apologies, Tom, and how very kind of you to include me. Thank you, totally agree with you about clever Tilly (who has just made it to the final of a very big poetry competition) and I’m off to explore your other finds .
