I am not surprised that your blog has been nominated so many times, I am always excited to find if their are new M+E stories in my blog reader, always great and gorgeous photos.

You had me at 'canasta'.

Anytime you are heading in the Canberraly direction I'll have a pack of cards on hand and a baker's dozen of Maries.
PS Thanks for including me.
PPS I think there is a blog post calling out to be written on the whole calisthenics solo performance issue.

Thanks for the bonus bikkie mention... I feel very special. Although I did imagine standing on the dias, national anthem belting out, bending down to have the biscuit medal delicately placed over my head then RIPPED away as you threw in the hurtful comment about my music taste (something which I have clearly explained!).

Anyway, I must move on (for the time being). I think you are very brave for:
1. taunting me AGAIN about music
2. rescuing your loved ones from the human-eating, giant-sized, fire-breathing spider

Let me show you how I feel about your heroic efforts with a song...

"Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everthing I'd like to be.
I could fly higher, than an eagle,
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings".

And OMG, OMG, OMG, if you saved me from a flesh-ea...

And OMG, OMG, OMG, if you saved me from a flesh-eating, eyeball-swallowing monster of a s*&%#r like that, I would personally don one of Mariah Carey's outfits, organise my own 3-part vocal troupe, and sing hero while standing on a giant white chocolate ice cream cake. You deserved every accolade you got.

Aw, shuckles! Thank you so much for such high praise :-) I would like my (vegan) edible medal delivered to the lake in the middle of Malaysia just under the sun and to the left of the rainforest. Thank you.

Hilarious story! I am inspired both by your spider bravery or the fact you play canasta. I absolutely love canasta and it's rare to find someone else who can play it.

We've come over all pink and giggly . Thankyou !! All I can say is that your blog is a constant source of amusement and entertainment , from Big Spider Hunting to hairy dogs in hairier jumpers and designer luggage for bandy chickens . I'll let you see my buttons any time ( I'd rephrase that if I had more time ) .Sonata

Awww, shucks! And thanks for the lowdown and heads-up (makes for an interesting dance move, no doubt) on so many other lovely blogs.

And yes - memory of the Safeway trip in the upside-down coat still makes me smile!!
