The lovely Tanvi awarded me the other day and I am only getting around to sharing it now. I am thrilled as I have only been blogging six weeks, 3000+clicks, 77 followers, 42 posts and three awards later I am hooked. I have no idea how I will survive next week when I am off invading Germany and the internet will be but a memory. Happily the stint will only be for ten days so I can save up all my weird, wonderful and wacky thoughts for when I get back. So being versatile or ambidextrous if you will, is what I aim to be!
Anyway the rule is, post the award, nominate 10-15 fellow bloggers and tell your readers seven facts about yourself!
So here are my seven facts: 1) I love shoes, have a shoe tattoo and love trying them on when I feel low … even if my purse can’t afford my longing. 2) I drink way too much tea, or possibly just the right amount in my eyes. Have a huge ug on constant standby and never run out of teabags. 3) I enjoy dancing and singing along to ABBA when I cook and bake … “The name of the game” is my favourite. 4) I was born in South Africa, grew up in Ireland, moved to Germany and studied there, moved back to Ireland eight years ago and love it here in Dublin. 5) I love liquorice, especially the salty kind. I keep a tin of it in the kitchen and eat a little nearly every day. 6) I will pick savoury over sweet every time and have a real thing for cheese … the smellier the better 7) Have wanted to write since I was four years old, still unpublished the dream lives onAnd my nominees are:

You are AWESOME! Thank you! I am also a closet digital scrapper and have been thinking I could “create” some awards too….I am very very lucky to have happened across your blog seeing that I have only chosen to follow one other blog here today after looking through nine pages out there…so this is fate and you can bet I am checking out your award recipients! Have a great weekend!! 🙂
you too … and as fellow “older” blogger lets take over the boggesphere
Congratulations. How did you do so much so fast? And can I get a peek at your shoe collection? In fact, I could have written all 7 of your facts except #4. Thank you for your generosity.
you are so welcome I really like your blog … and what do you mean by do so much so fast? I just write my blog every morning and then I try and catch up with a few blogs throughout the day. I have no idea what a “normal” blog does or how many readers they have etc … but I do hope that maybe, just maybe I can make this one a success because I am enjoying it so much
Thank you so much for the mention! Made my day 🙂 I also this it’s awesome how world traveled you are! I bet you have such a better perspective on the world than the rest of us 🙂
Thanks but I don’t think so, there are many others much more far-traveled than I, but I think we all need to just open our eyes a little more. Glad I made your day now go and have fun with it 🙂
Thanks, jensine! And I love your answers. And I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts. I hope you have a fantastic trip and i am quite envious. Can you see my green aura? :0

BEST way to start the weekend EVER – congrats and cheers 😀 …Jill
you are so welcome, packing my bags getting ready to move in and watch you play every day 🙂
Lol, a third might be good for us, but you’ll be bored 95% of the time I assure you…Jill
Seems like I’m in good company here. Thanks!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))) (double chinned smiley).
Thanks for stopping by my blog and I have a major thing about shoes too! You would love the blog post I did about them 🙂
