Congratulations, Aoife – it’s definitely well-deserved. Although I thought you would have put up another picture of a shy, cute animal ;D

Yipeeee!
Thanks everybody a squillion times!
And aidan – now that I’ve made it to the second round, my bashfulness has turned into arrogance, and I’ve lost touch with the shy panda bear side of myself 😦

I was also wondering if I was developing second-round arrogance – but then again, I’ve probably been arrogant all my life; I’m a Kerryman living in Paris ;D

Hee hee! Oh wait, now that I’m a blog award nominee, I suppose I should really type LOL.
LOL!
Congrats to you too Aidan by the way 🙂
