New challenges, loads of work and lovely surprises.
I started work this week with a load of new responsibilities and have been working hard to settle in and get my head around things. I think I’m in for a productive and challenging year ahead. This week has left me with little time to visit my favourite blogs or to blog myself, but I did manage to take a peek at notifications when accessing my emails.
I received two lovely surprises:- This is the first!
A ‘super sweet’ blogging award from BILTRIX.
Only today have I had an opportunity to savour this treat! What a lovely surprise! THANK YOU BILTRIX! I have been following and learning from BILTRIX for many months now. Do be tempted and take a look at BILTRIX – you’re sure to visit over and over again for another taste of the sweet friendship and excellent company available there.
As always, on acceptance of the award, questions are to be answered and the flame is carried on ……..
- Cookie or cake? Cookies or cake, but not too much of either. I prefer savoury to sweet.
- Chocolate or Vanilla? A scoop of each.
- What is your favourite sweet treat? Baklava
- When do you crave sweet things the most? Late afternoon.
- If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be? Jelly Baby
The sweet flame of recognition is passed on to:
- Father Acervo’s Corner Brimming with all the goodness that the Faith can offer.
- Ascending Mount Carmel (almost typed ‘caramel’….) Take a bite of this chunky , solid Catholic teaching and opinion.
- A Solitary Bird thoughts on Carmelite spirituality and contemplative prayer

My second lovely surprise is ……another award from the Champion-award-winning BILTRIX team!

The team in this camp is well-trained, super-fit and share the best training tips in order to run the best race. BILTRIX ‘approaches cultural apologetics from a logical perspective, in order to bring truth and meaning to cultural discourse where issues are often blurred by the absurd.’
