Aint Words Grand.


First thing I want to do today is to thank all the people who were kind
enough to nominate HoltiesHouse for The Best Australian or New
Zealand award, I only know the identity of two, MissCellania and
Raggedy, Thank you, also I want to thank each and everyone who
voted for HoltiesHouse in the Weblog Awards.
To be nominated and then become a finalist has been a humbling
experience, and then to have all the congratulations from those of you
who have voted for my site was quite overwhelming.
The content that I choose probably gives the impression of nonchalance
and no doubt has you wondering at times just what sort of person
would go to some of the places I go, the only answer I can give is a
caring and fundamentally nice person.... OH... Bloody Hell,

my altar ego is back, try as I might
I just don't seem to be able to
keep him down.

Ah well, he's good for a laugh
every now and then I guess.
