Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd be saying this, but the 'Fellowship of the Blog' has reached 200! Hang on a minute ... there's now 201. Thanks Golden Eagle!
For my 200th follower, CindyLu's Muse, I present the Versatile Blogger Award, with my thanks. If you're an animal lover such as myself, this blog is a 'must' follow.
At any rate, who could resist a face like that? Simply adorable!
The said award was bestowed upon me by my dear friend, Gary Philip Pennick from Klahanie. A blog more than worthy of a follow - if you're not already. Thank you, Gary!
As the title suggests, I am having a contest. My name is, W.M.Morrell. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guess my middle name. The correct spelling is imperative and only five guesses per comment. The first person to guess correctly will win the prize, which will be something 'Kiwi' for obvious reasons. Yours truly being one. I will post the winners name and a photo of the goodies a week from today, 28th January. I don't want to rush things after all ... I may break the habit of a lifetime and post more than three times a month! It is a wonder I have anyone following this humble blog at all. Thank you most sincerely to those of you who do.
By the way, you must be a follower of this blog. Good luck!
(I don't believe it - I've now got 202! Thanks Demitria Lunetta) :)

ReplyDeleteAha!! I just checked...YOU were my 100th!!! How's that for synchronicity!! So, does that mean I hand the award right back over to you? lol
ReplyDeleteKim - I even had the award specially framed :) And, even though your little furry friend is simply gorgeous, I'm still not telling :)

I think Wendy (Mayhem) Morrill is a name I could wrap myself around. It has a ring to it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the followers Wendy it's a great blog- and this competition seems to be getting some interest!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... Miranda?
Couldn't resist a shot!
Walter - A short sweet witty reply. Mayhem, indeed... Try again, good sir :)
ReplyDeleteRick - Many thanks, good sir!
ReplyDeleteIncorrect answer. Please try again :)
Oh my word Wendy - just what could be your middle name?! Oh, I'm supposed to be guessing that right? Hm... well, a lot of choices have gone already (in fact all the 'm' names I know. I may be resorting to trawling on the Internet. Let's see:
ReplyDelete1. May (so far, so usual)
2. Maud (bit of a long shot)
3. Mayflower (why am I fixated with 'May'?!)
4. Magdala (What - me on a French baby name site? Never. And that's only because someone sounding clever above thought your surname was French.)
5. Mattie (as Wendy was in Peter Pan; J. M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan; his middle name is Matthew and you may have been named after that. If I thought my earlier guess was a long shot I guess that just hit it out the park!)

ReplyDeleteA family name? All will be revealed in the passage of time! I can be quite annoying sometimes can't I... Sorry :)
I just had a wild thought, but I didn't look to see if anyone else guessed this name. Is it Maori?
ReplyDeleteCarol - haha! I can categorically say, no, that is not my middle name :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the followers! You're already up to 208!
