Waiting for the man
The Irish Blog Awards are on tomorrow night. I will be wearing my new dress if the postman brings it today. If not, I will be giving my old dress one last outing. That’s how I operate – I buy new clothes, I wear them all the time until I get to go shopping again. Then my former new clothes become old clothes and are laid to rest. It means I don’t have to think much about what I wear, yet I usually look like I’ve made an effort. And because I work from home, people don’t tend to notice that I wear the same clothes most of the time. However, I did wear my old dress to the last blog-related do so I could get caught out this time. Come on postie, come on!!!
I will also be talking about blogging with John Williams of McAWilliams on RTE Radio 1’s This Week programme on Sunday afternoon.

Fee, hope you didn’t mind me suggesting you for This Week, I couldn’t do it.
The blogging piece is in today’s Mail and you’re a big fibber – that’s a lovely photo.

Don’t mind at all – thanks! Although I’m not sure how much I know about blogging – I’m not really your typical blogger.
Thanks for letting me know about the piece – I’d run out and get a copy but I might miss the postman!!! And I’m not sure I believe you about the photo.

Fiona, first time commenter here although do know your blog.
Looks like I am joining you on Sunday morning in RTE like you I am unsure how much I know about blogging but I did get the feeling its going to be like a 10 min informal chat, thing I am worried about is getting up that early on Sunday, after the night before.
Hopefully may meet up tomorrow night, but it not looking forward to meeting you on Sunday.
