And the Award for Schmoozing goes to ...

Now I have to award five bloggers who, I believe, have the power of schmooze: the ability to chat informally on their blog.

This is difficult, partly because there are lots I'd like to include, and partly because lots of people have already received it.

So I'll choose:

MDM, who lives with tyrannical twins and when he isn't swimming or doing karate is platform guard on the Nighttime Express;

Gledwood, who's proving with his blog that not all junkies are purse-snatching grandmother-killing psychos;

Ageis, who is a faithful visitor, as well as a motor-biking allotment-holder;

Robyn, over in Oz, who definitely has the power of schmooze;

and ...

Shades, who posts about theatres and lighting, and fascinating places, as well as his lovely family. And who, I've just discovered, posted a lovely video especially for me last week. Thank you, Ian.

POSTSCRIPT

I realised I had forgotten to include the award image and remind the five recipients that they now have to pass it on to five more!

Back again!

Look, my photo loaded!!! I was on my way back here with the image when I thought, 'You twit! You can't upload photos at the moment.' But I tried and it worked. Straightaway.

Hey ho, life is a mystery to some of us.

Anyway, I don't think I'm the only person who has seen this award on others's blogs and wondered why it would be an achievement to send people to sleep. But it's not. Schmooze, according to Welshcakes, according to jmb, is the ability to chat informally.

Yes, I can do that, thank you Welshcakes. On my blog that is; not in real life.

Now I have to work out how to put it in my sidebar. I wonder if I can do it the same way I did the Rockin' Girl award (after Thunderdragon explained it to me).

And I have to pass the award on to five others. Have to think about that. Be back again soon, but not before you've said, 'Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's dairy.'
