Fabby news! I am a runner-up in the Guardian political blogger of the year competition – voted on by you the public!

I have attained genuine geek status (and risen in the eyes of my daughter for having a write up in On-Line section of the Guardian the week before as having fab website too).

Of course, the irony is that the techno side is still a complete mystery to me. I write my blog and email it to my web-master who does the business.

My blog is a kind of stream of consciousness. The Guardian write up of my award said it was ‘Down to earth and humorous’!!

I am thrilled though – genuinely. I love writing and I love the very personal engagement it allows to people into my life. I just do it – but it takes on a life of its own out there in cyberland. (A special hello to my reader in Mexico!).
