Sharla, Cristi, Maxima and Rachel have all nominated me again for the Blog of the Year Award, bringing my stars to the maximum of 6. I would like to thank everybody who has liked or commented on my blog. I have also received nominations from Raani, Mary, Gys, ClanMother, Ute, CW, Oasien and NG Tom
This award is different as you collect stars for it. Each time you receive the award, you gain another star up to six in total, plus the extras making fourteen.
Here are the rules for accepting this award:
1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award
2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.
3 Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)
4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them
5 You can now also join their Facebook page – click the link here ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Award and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience
6 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…
Ok, let’s start.
I’ve been nominated six now so I get all six stars.
These are the blogs that I missed in the first two awards :
All That I Am. All That I Ever Was
Sentiments Through The Speed of Light
The World Of Alexander The Great
And anyone else who needs it …
Congrats, Alastair.

You’re welcome, and thank you
Thank you, Alastair! How DO you keep up with so many blogs?????
With difficulty. I’ve not awarded to bloggers who who haven’t posted in over a month, and if a blogger doesn’t visit me for a while, then I won’t visit them. I’ll just delete the emails from the list as they come through. Although there are only two or three that I do that to. The majority of the blogs are photos
That explains it…too many of mine require a lot of reading so I have to budget visitations. I hate to miss any posting for I never know what I miss…
Yes, I know that one.
What I do is highlight all of my likes and comments and delete them, then I got to the notification box thing, top right and select View All so it opens it in a new page. I click all the likes, then start at the bottom and work up with the comments. Then I do the same with the emails. Or if I have to go out, I do it on my iPhone.
congratulations on your shiny six stars and thank you for sharing the award again!
Thank you, and you’re welcome

Wow, don’t think I’ll remember all that though!
Haha, I don’t think I will. If I can remember, I will try and post then
That’d be cool though if you could!
Think I’ll set an alarm to remind me
Goofball!
Me? I resemble that remark
Holy Moly – You just filled the sky! LOL
