I've been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2012 (Blogging)! In much the same way as I celebrated being longlisted there has been oramorph, sleeping and attempting to console a very sulky BendyCat who's considering a plagarism action as the true author of all my blogs.

The awards ceremony is Wednesday 23rd of May. Excitement about that is scheduled to begin once I've figured out if and how I can attend, which will sound significantly less "woe is me" if you've read my blog entries about trying to travel anywhere as a disabled person!

Blogs entered:
