I saw today that the nominations are open for the 2009 SA Blog awards!!

I know I’m shameless   but please nominate my photoblog again… click the button to the right… pretty please…

And don’t forget to add your nominations for your other favourite SA bloggers while you’re at it.

Thanks muchly

I’m sure I had a brilliant post idea, but I cannot think what the topic was! So while I’ve been trying to remember, I’ve spent the time updating the blogroll! Finally!

So many of my favourite bloggers have moved to new blogging homes, and my list was seriously in need of a revamp. I’ve also decided to split the SA and Non-SA blogs that I love visiting, and until I did that I didn’t actually realise how many local blogs I read now!
Most of the photography blogs I follow are international though.

If I’ve left you off, sorry, just let me know, and I’ll add your link too!

And speaking of links etc, I was PMSL yesterday when I read Shebee’s post about the Nerdies 2009 nominations, and saw that I came in as a close runner up!! LOL!! There’s still time to vote for your favourite SA nerd, so visit the link and vote already!

And speaking of nominations, I’ve heard that my photoblog has been nominated under the Photography and African Blog categories of the 2009 Bloggies… yip… that’s going to be interesting.  I doubt very much that I have ANY hope of getting somewhere but LOL it’s fun trying   So, please follow the link and vote for http://www.jeanetteverster.com!

After I got home from the airport last night with my tree (and YAY managed not to get highjacked on the way home.. yes, you have to watch your back at the Jo’burg Airport), and tucked the kids into bed and had a quick chat with Lance, I zooted off to bookclub with my bottle of wine in hand. Btw, you can read about my journey with my tree here…

Ooops, and yes, I forgot to take a book   The wine was much more important
  
It was so cool! Fiona brought a bottle of champers too! Everyone fell in love with my wine that I got as an award, so we all had a bit. What a gorgeous wine!
There’s nothing better than celebrating with friends. I was explaining to my colleague on the way home that we all met online, and she was amazed. Hee hee! I find that people are constantly amazed that I’ve made real friends online. In fact, yesterday morning at the Waterfront I bumped into Rikke, and another colleague as astounded when I said that I’d never actually met her before, but recognised her from her photos and we were chatting like old friends.

I suppose I should have made more of an effort to get together with the Cape Town ladies, but I ran out of time, and without having a constant network connection it was very difficult to get in contact with people. In fact, I would have loved to meet up with Jane for one!

This has been a BIG week for me!I’ve never won an award before… in my life! Never! Not even at school!
