Christine Blackwell has very kindly nominated my blog for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Thank you again Crissy
Here are the rules:
Display the Award Certificate on your blog.
Announce your win with a post. Make sure you post a link back to me as a ‘thank you’
for the nomination.
Present 15 awards to 15 deserving bloggers.
Leave them a comment to let them know after you have linked them to a post.
Post seven interesting things about yourself.
Seven, okay:
My blog name derives from the fact that only fragments of my writing escape to the internet – most of it goes straight into the bin.
I am mustachioed (not an implant 😛 ).
I’m already excited about the new Muppet Movie due next year.
I try to restrict my Pinterest pinning to twice monthly. Sometimes I even succeed.
I plan to visit Alhambra in 2015 and am looking forward to viewing its walls of epigraphic poems.
When I was five I told a lie that still troubles me.
I deliberately wear a G-String under my suit at Board meetings to mentally mind-fuck the old fuddy-duddies around the table.

Fugitive Fragments 
congrats on the award. deserving indeed. Amazed to read that a lie told at age 5 still bothers you
Thanks dear n-l, and yes, the lie – when I tried to apologise to my brother for it a few years ago, he couldn’t remember the incident (he’s two years younger) so now I’m stuck with guilt that will never go away. Not nice. Don’t lie. Ever.
Thank you, Mike…I’m working on the post. 🙂
Well deserved and there’s not rush…
Congratulations Mike!
Thank you for the nomination. Kind regards.
I think we’re both very deserving of our awards Ar Vhee 😀
Congratulations and well deserved. 🙂
Thanks Phoebe – I have a lot of work to do to catch up with your Awards 😀
Love your acceptance and post 🙂 Congrats again!!!
Thanks again Crissy.
You are very welcome. 🙂
It worries me, Mike, that you’re only half-joking about the g-string…but then fuddy-duddies deserve whatever they get, I suppose! Really, your Pinterest addiction troubles me far more. 🙂
I share your concern about Pinterest but my ego demands that I have ONE vice. And I don’t ‘half-joke’ about the G-String – have you ever tried to wear half a G-String?
The G-string is an amusing way to avoid getting strung out at work 😂
Henry Thoreau wouldn’t have been too impressed with my version of passive rebelliousness but it worked for me.
Good to hear! Funny how despite not having ever seen you, I can’t get the image out of my mind!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo………..
Good afternoon, Wexford is basking in glorious sunshine.
Hey Chris, I know all about the weather – I’ve got half of Ireland bragging loudly at me (just wait…)
So what are the other half saying???
Exactly what you said – ‘basking in glorious sunshine’ and between you and me I don’t begrudge it to you pale pink people at all at all 😀 The skies opened over Melbourne today and the wombats are riding the crocodiles to safety outside my window right and now being belted by hailstones the size of canned ham!
Canned ham = lunch time – gotta go – the mankini is at the ready for after lunch!!!
