The Indie Blog Awards

Way over in Sheffield, England, UK, Brexit Central, the laughing Horse Blog Awards are about get underway. They are, by all accounts, the award of all awards for bloggers around the world (or at least t he Northern Hemishphere) As your correspondent ttypes feverishly it is 9pm NYE and typos are bound to occur. View them as proof of the hand typed and bespoke nature of "eclectica."

Seeing the need for an independent or fancier sounding "Indie" blogging award, your correspondent has gone to some lengths to establish a one-off special award.


The ceremenoy will be taking place at the salubrious Narwee Hotel where the majority of patrons are dressed in their very best hi-vis.


Being a particularly grand occasion, local delicacy the HSP (Halal Snack Pack) is on the menu for all guests and nominees





Local old bloke and one-time Captain of the Australian Cricket Team, Brian B00th has put on his best blue shirt (traditional rural wear for all Australian VIPs) to present the award:



Lucy the Barkinator and all around clever bitch is here to acknowledge services to activism against:

  • covid
  • brexit
  • Boris
  • Ratana





  • Local Good Guy, Harry the Hound, Esq. got out of bed to further explain the nomination:



    for services to:
    • rambling
    • Hull City FC
    • the arts
    • Princess Phoebe
    • and historic contributions to veganism
    so, without further ado


    put your hands, hoofs, or paws together


    and offer CONGRATULATIONS to the inaugural WINNER of the Is-That-Bull-Charging Award,

    Mr Yorkshire, Neil, Pudding

    7. Shouldn’t speak too soon but I haven’t seen ‘RAT’ ( no not those ones, they’re harder to find than balls on a cow) I haven’t seen him/her/it around for a few days.
      Congrats to Mr YP - he’ll go a long way…well he does doesn’t he….he and Clint go a long way from home on a regular basis don’t they 😊
      Take care
      Cathy

      Happy New Year to you and all you love Kylie

    8. Brilliant. And congratulations Kylie. I concur:

      'The Awards Committee picked Kylie, an Australian blogger who is responsible for "Eclectica" from the suburbs of Sydney. This is also a nice blog to visit. In it, Kylie reflects on her family, her dog, work and health issues. Her kindness, common sense and optimism shine through. Earlier this year she gave us a fascinating series of blogposts that exercised her talent for writing haiku verses. She occasionally acts as a doula - partnering women through childbirth and is active in The Salvation Army. Very deserving of the very first "Nicest Blogger" award.'

    9. Ms Scarlet,
      A very Happy 2022 to you!

      WWW,
      I'll cross my fingers for you to feel better this year

      EC,
      My warmest wishes for you this year xo

      PP,
      The typo that sounded drunk was my fave. Maybe it was ceremenoy.

      Nick,
      Yorkie and the committee put a great deal of thought into the awards

      Red,
      I thought he deserved a nomination!

      Cathy,
      Yorkie does go far with Clint. One of them must be very patient ;)

      Michelle,
      Thank you! Truth be told, I'm just careful about what I put in writing :)
