I’m back. 8 days using a pen instead of keyboard. You might call it being under mouse arrest. More about that later.
Right now, there is the more pressing matter of nominations for the Irish Blog Awards. You don’t have to vote for my suggestions, but just remember, I know your IP.
Eolaí over at Irish KC never fails to crack me up with his Irish Conversations category and I’m nominating it for Most Humourous Post. There could be a problem with this because it’s not strictly a unique post. I’ll check this with Mr. Mulley … or persuade him that it’s acceptable. If he does say no then I can pick one from the list. A daunting task but it would keep me smiling for hours.
My pick for Best Newcomer is MacKozer’s Irish Diary. The author is a newcomer to both blogging and to Ireland. His perspective of Ireland as a Pole is intelligent, readable and betimes thought provoking. And if that weren’t enough, his photography is so amazing I can’t find the thousand words needed to describe it. To save me the trouble of thinking of them, just go have a look for yourself and you’ll understand. And the blog is also available in Polish.
I reckon Fat Mammy Cat is a runner for Best Personal Blog. At times very personal, always worth reading and with subtle innocent humour hidden in the obvious. Call it embedded.
Edit:: ->I have just learned that Annie Rhiannon also qualifies to play for Ireland so she’s also a runner for Best Personal Blog. Very personal and unabashed. The humour here is in no way embedded.The only way to resolve this is to adopt Boolean logic. Vote Mammy Cat OR Annie. Vote for either - vote for both - but don’t vote for neither. End Edit.
While I don’t normally agree with saving the best wine ’til last … everyone’s pissed by then and don’t appreciate it … but I’ve done it here. The Best Blog just has to go to The Swearing Lady from the arse end of Ireland. My money is on her usurping Twenty this year. No contest. Her ladyship is a howl. Whether she’s up or down. With a single sentence she can make you laugh, cry or scream in frustration. But mostly laugh. Oh, and this is something Mr. Mulley does agree with me about.
Well, I’ll leave it up to yourselves. And remember there are lots of other categories too.
