Bad, bad memer

I'm a bad, bad memer...I failed to pass on the meme (from a couple of days ago).

I am feeling inexplicably guilty for this.

So I am now officially apologising and passing the baton to Janet, rw, trashalou, Anna and BabelBabe. Oh, and also Beth - Eurolush's super sister, who could perhaps have another one of her fabulous guest appearances on E's blog?!

I'm looking forward to reading all of your answers, although I already know all about BabelBabe's latest obsession.

Happy weekend one and all.

BabelBabe said...: I had such a draining day, and was looking forward to reading blogs - Yay! Eleanor has TWO posts for me to read! And then! Surprise, I am famous : )! You made my day.; May 9, 2009 at 7:47 AM

It's a bit like blog awards. Sometimes the chain gets broken. I laughed about the feeling inexplicably guilty!; May 9, 2009 at 7:47 AM

Commentary box

It all started when I read a newspaper article about blogging which mentioned Catherine Newman, who mentioned Journeymama. Journeymama had a link to Blackbird. Blackbird basically linked to every single blogger in the entire blogosphere. I hung out in lots and lots of comment boxes as an “Anonymous”, but I had more and more to say every day and the comment boxes were soon far too small for me. I was toying with the idea of starting my own blog when I met Kim at the Growers’ Market; I introduced myself to her and she said “Oh, you’re Eleanor from my comment box?! You should start a blog.” So I did. After a few weeks, Blackbird mentioned me and Eurolush (2 new bloggers) in one of her posts. From that day onwards I met some of the most fabulous bloggers a gal could wish for, plus...Eurolush and I became blog-blood sisters. I got to know Mary, Suse, Badger, BabelBabe, Alice C, Tuli, Kmkat, RW, Jen, Trashalou and many many others. Mary introduced me to two extraordinary gardens, and it was via her comment box that I met dear Anna from Sweden (the very morning after I had watched a Swedish film and said to my husband “Wouldn’t it be great to find a Swedish blogger?”). Anna introduced me to Maria, and both now blog regularly in English, which is amazing. Anna also introduced me to Esti in Spain, whose art brings me so much happiness on a daily basis. Duyvken first showed up in my life when I read a comment she left in Kim’s box a mere 24 hours after giving birth to JW. Coffeelady showed up in Eurolush’s commentbox recently, making a very rude remark about my running ability, and therefore immediately winning a place in my heart. Julia visited my library all the way from Prague recently. So...I’ve been having a great deal of fun with my blog. But, remember, dear dear reader, it all started with me being an “Anonymous”, and therefore I must also mention (last but certainly not least) my favourite Anonymous, the one, the only...... LAURA. So...go on...what are you waiting for? Pick a blogger, click in a box and comment.
