An award... just at the right time!

I've crash-landed again these last few days.
I've just been out cycling to try to clear my head, blow the cobwebs away. Although the cobwebs feel like they're made of lead scaffolding at the moment. Since getting back indoors, I got some crackers and cheese, and emptied out the bottle of Baileys into a glass- topping up the pathetic quantity with milk and ice cubes. I've been sipping it away here, and now my head is soothed. Not a method I would like to become reliant on, but it has helped for now. Welcome relief.

On checking hereabouts I discovered I'd been awarded this:This award comes from Sir Woodstock:
Sir Woodstock is a gorgeous Bear, as you can see. Best not tell Bob I said that though.

Thanks, Sir Woodstock.
Just what I need at times like this.

The translation of the award is 'Your Blog is Like a Pearl - Rare, delicate and charming!'

Now I'm meant to pick 6 others to give it to, but I'm afraid I can't, not honestly, as some of the blogs that deserve it have a 'no tag & no award zone' rule. Never mind. If you're here, take this award with my best wishes and pass it on as best you can....

Award :)

Just popping in to say a big thank you to Jenny of Jenny's Little World, who has given me this lovely award :)
The text of the award is as follows:

The Karma Award: These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.

I am meant to pass it on to 8 other bloggers! I'm afraid I can't do this, as (1) I don't want to leave out any of the blogs on my list or my followers because they are very special blogs. It would be different if I only had to pass it on to one person, but once you get numbers like 8, that's more of an exclusion exercise and might cause offence to those left out! (2) I'm also a little reluctant to because some bloggers openly prefer not to receive awards and tags. This would exclude several people I'd love to give this to!!!

So basically, if you haven't had this one and would like it, please feel free to take it and pass it on! My regular readers, for example, all deserve it and I'm not just saying that through bias :)

Thanks again, Jenny! (DO visit her blog, btw, it's lovely!!!)

Ooo another award! Coo, ta!!!

I've just received this lovely award from Els G. (Check out her blog if you have a moment, here!)

THANK YOU!!!

There are some rules attached, as I have to pass it on!
The rules are :-
1. The winner may put the logo on their blog.
2. Put a link to the person who sent you the award.
3. Nominate 5 blogs.
4. Put links to their blogs.
5. Leave a message for your nominees.

I have lots of links to other blogs on here, in the column on the left, and more at the foot of the page, too! I am running out of room for listing great blogs! This means picking 5 isn't easy. But I've chosen 5 of the most creative blogs I've found to date. Ones that are really inspiring. If you haven't been to see them yet, I urge you too, and leave them a hullo, too :)

1. Chewy
