Uncle Skip, who has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek, gave me an award.
First Suldog gave Uncle Skip an award.
No.
First some poor innocent soul gave Suldog an award, which he accepted in his own unique way. Then Suldog passed the award on to Uncle Skip and some other bloggers.
And then Uncle Skip passed it on to some other bloggers and me.
This is it:
THANK YOU, UNCLE SKIP (I’m not even sure if the comma was necessary there. If it isn’t, feel free to ignore it.)
Of course these awards always have strings attached. A ‘thank you speech’ alone will not do. I understand that one must mention ‘stuff’ about one’s self in order to be a deserving recipient of this particular award. One must also link back to the presenter of the award, which one has done at the very beginning of this post and will do again at the very end of this post.
And I too can post a picture of a laughing animal. Better yet, I even took this photo.
So here’s some ‘stuff’ about me:
- I’m 1.80m tall
- I have published my first book last week, but I’m pretty sure no one will ever buy it
- I’m hopeless at remembering birthdays
- I have never smoked anything illegal
- I have never smoked anything legal, apart from fish
- I have a great sense of humour
- I have no earlobes
- I can make a damn good lasagne
- I’m a Shaun the Sheep-fan
- I used to visit bloggers who joined my list of followers to thank them, but apparently that scared the hell out of some people and they immediately stopped blogging. So I don’t do that anymore. I just ignore them and hope for the best.
Another string attached to this award is that I have to pass it on to 5 other bloggers. Most bloggers I know live in an award free zone, so there’s no point in bothering them with such a wonderful award as this is. Hmm, to whom will I pass this award on. They must be people who will really appreciate it (no pressure):
- Mara of Weighty Matters
- Liz of Backward Leonard
- Karen of A Good Snapshot
Okay, it’s not 5 exactly, but I’ve never been good with numbers.
Oh, and pifflesquit? You’ll have to visit Uncle Skip to find out what that means.
Are you sure you can trust Uncle Skip?
ReplyDeleteI mean about the mean of pifflesquit.
I tried to smoke a fish, but I could not keep it lit.
IT,
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not. And you have to dry the fish (off?) first ;-)
Oh, not uncle Skip! (Just kidding; I'm off to check him out...) But first, I'd like to thank the Academy, my Mum and Dad, Carolina and all the little people...
ReplyDeleteHeheh! I enjoyed your response to the award. Great photo, but I wouldn't want to be that close to those chompers!
ReplyDeleteWell I've never smoked a fish! And if you have no ear lobes, where do your earrings hang?
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in that dress. Who are you wearing? ;-)
Pat,
They're innocent chompers, I promise you ;-)
Baino,
Actually, I do have two holes (for earrings) in each ear, but they haven't been in use for literally ages. Look around you, there are lots of earlobesless (made that word up) people. But there are more people with lobes.
Love the smile! And thank you so much for the award, I will have to see what I can come up with.
ReplyDeleteMara,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be most entertaining ;-)
That photo is MAGIC-I'd like a big print of it to hang on my wall!!! hehehe... It would brighten the dullest day. :)
ReplyDeleteI may have become a Shaun the Sheep fan, too
ReplyDeleteJinksy,
ReplyDeleteYou'll need that in the English climate ;-)
IT,

Hey, not only did you win the same award as me, you're the same height as me!
ReplyDeleteFirst, anyone who references Wallace & Grommit is OK by me.
ReplyDeleteSecond, you published a book? Where? What? How? Add other interrogatives as needed.
