Hammerblows by Mr. Pink, The Husband (#11)

I am going to start a blog, like a support group, and name it 'My Wife's a Blogger'.   Mr. Pink is feeling neglected. I should feel sorry, but then he also (always) says,   Aren't you going to put what I just said on 'Mr. Pink's Hammersmith Blows'?    No! I am not! And it is...

A final acceptance speech made to share 33 blog sites

Thank you to everyone who has ever nominated me for anything. I appreciate it but this is going to be my last acceptance since it takes a LOT of time to make these posts. In case anyone ever feels like giving me another award please don't desist and I will accept it on an honorary basis....

New Awards for the New Year – Part I (Virtual Blog Tour)

This year has started off with me being nominated by some exceptional bloggers for some wonderful awards. Although I am usually very uncomfortable when praised I would be completely amiss if I didn’t say I am very grateful. You have hundreds if not thousands of blogs that you follow. You read, like and discuss many...

Letter to Googlers who happened upon my blog

Dear Google searcher aka Googler I usually don't get to see what brought you to my blog. You have strict privacy settings and I only get to stare into the abyss of 'Unknown search terms', trying to decipher your intentions. Then there are days when something quite extraordinary happens: I finally get to see your trail...

I am Off and On and Off

If you are reading this it probably means it's too late. I am off to a place where only the original meaning of the word signal remains. I contemplated leasing a universal bus that allows me to occasionally travel to the blogosphere, but I finally decided it would be for everyone's good if I contemplated some more....

My first award – very inspiring indeed!

I am usually embarrassed by awards and praise so this is the most awkward post I've had to write. That does not mean I am not exceedingly pleased to receive my very first award on this blog. It means so much more since it comes from bloggers and intended to spread 'blog love'. I've been...

To achieve… Picasso’s prolificacy

I first saw Picasso's works in Vienna, then extensively in Barcelona and finally when I went to Málaga - the artist's birthplace. There, in the Museo Picasso Málaga, I think l finally connected with him. The art felt personal and the presentation intimate. I understood Picasso's message and creative process better. Around corners, printed on walls, were...

The Day 30 & Post 38: Truths, Trials, Triumphs and Thankfulness after the First Month of Blogging

All that I have learnt after my first month of blogging.

Life is too short to…not write

I started, 2 days ago. I am finally feeling introspective and self-destructive. I wrote a lot when I was a wee girl, barely able to get my cursive penmanship up to the standards held by my primary school English teacher. In fact even in secondary school a teacher who was handing out the corrected quizzes...
