MAK at ‘Til the Cows Come Home briefly gets in touch with his inner-pigeon-lover in Feed the Birds.
Unreliable Witness is one of the most gifted writers I’ve come across in years. I’m nominating Soulweaving songs because I don’t have the words to express how lovely this post is.
Perhaps it doesn’t qualify for the shortlist as it contains a youtube video, but it’s worth reading nonetheless: http://www.enidd.com/?p=175#comments

Because telling a story like that whilst keeping away from ‘you had to be there’ territory is a lot more difficult than it sounds.
The Perorations of Lady Bracknell: The results of a sleepless night, beautiful post about pain and friendship.
Reckless Driving for the Kindergarten Crowd by Dad Gone Mad made me shoot coffee out of my nose.

Someone who tells it like it is: You Might Like Me. Brilliant.
Looks like being a very short list at this rate…
I make no secret of the fact I am smitten as a small child with a certain three bloggers’ blogs, so much so that if they ever create a duff post I will create a “Weakest Link” blog just for them to post on because even the writing on that would be spectacular.
So with groaning predictability at yet another stunning post, I nominate Unreliable Witness and Drop In The Ocean, Fall In The River: http://www.unreliablewitness.c.....-the-river
I do read other blogs too you know… I really do
The blog, “My Neighbours are Hoors” is one of my favourites.
Here’s her tagline:
“Yup. My neighbours are Ladies of Negotiable Affection… and it’s TOO INTERESTING not to share.”
I love it and here’s this weeks post about a Naked Man in the Garden

just genius. we are not worthy. The Overnight Editor: Earning My Stripes
Not one for the shortlist as it’s in 3 parts, but Vicus Scurra’s “Hands across the sea” photo-caption series, illustrating Betty Windsor’s trip to the US, had me in actual, real-life, rolling-down-my-cheeks tears.

Girl writes about being leched at in the till queue at the supermarket.
For me, it’s the punchline that makes it.
Edvard beat me to it.
La Pajaro for Evaporated.
Badger writes about what it’s actually like to live with tourette’s syndrome, and how it feels to be on the verge of formal diagnosis. It’s not floral - she’s also on the autistic spectrum - but that unswerving honesty, with complete lack of self-awareness, makes it all the more moving and powerful:
An itch … that is always scratched, yet never eased.
Mirth and Woe: Grand National..You know how these things get started.

Earning my stripes
Double-pissed - the state of being so pissed, even your pissed-up MATES think you’re pissed

ha, how fitting, oe gets three nominations…for the same post!
I meant to say ‘lack of self-consciousness’ - not ‘lack of self-awareness’. That’ll teach me to post on these pain killers … sorry Badger!
