Sometime after midday the shortlists for the blog awards emerged from the ether. I’ve been shortlisted for the first time ever. Best Blog and Best News and Current affairs. Thanks to the judges for getting me this far. And thanks to the sponsors of Best Blog and indeed all the other categories

Congratulations to all those nominated. I’m in some very very salubrious company from the Irish blogging world. Roll on March 1st for the shin dig!
