Blogger Recognition Award

https://bonjourberlin.com/2016/01/14/blogger-recognition-award/

https://michelinewalker.com/2016/03/06/blogger-recognition-award-2/

Once again, I would like to thank bonjourberlin.com for honouring me.

Bonjour Berlin has fallen in love with Berlin.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine, a university teacher and actor. He therefore lived in both Berlin and Westmount. Canadian pianist Louis Lortie has also settled in Berlin.

—ooo—

It is my duty and honour to nominate fifteen bloggers. I haven’t seen rules other than

  • acknowledging being nominated and
  • presenting a list of 15 persons, which I did in random order.
  1. Doru
  2. ididnthavemyglasseson
  3. Mr. Militant Negro
  4. FirstNightDesign
  5. Hands on Bowie
  6. aquileana (La Audacia de Aquiles)
  7. silkannthreades (Gallivanta)
  8. derrickjknight
  9. musteredseedbudget
  10. Xena
  11. unclerave
  12. colltales
  13. the crazybaglady@bulanlifestyle.com
  14. AshiAkira’s Blog
  15. danaiana.com

The only rule to the Blogger Recognition award is to nominate colleages. However, if doing so is problematical, please accept this nomination for what it is, a Blogger Recognition Award. You need not acknowledge this nomination except by telling you received it.

The Respect Award

I wish to thank Xena for nominating me for a Respect award. One wonders if one deserves such an honour. However, I have been doing my best, which is perhaps all that one can do.

My posts are, at times, too long and I repeat myself or say something that may seem irrelevant.

I am therefore very grateful for this nomination and wish to congratulate other nominees.

Usually nominations come with rules. If there are rules, I will respect these rules.

Again, I thank you most sincerely.

II – Tempo ordinario d’un menuetto, Trio I & Trio II

Beethoven's 7th, bonjourberlin, February 2016, Recognition Award

Blogger Recognition

I wish to thank bonjourberlin for nominating me for the Blogger Recognition award. It is a privilege to know that one’s contribution to blogosphere is appreciated.

In return I would like to thank all my readers for their wonderful posts. I keep learning and I love your art, your poems, your thoughts, all that you share with us.

Blogger Recognition Award

The following is one of my favourite movements in music: the 2nd movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. It is played by the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by the now legendary Herbert von Karajan.
