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.

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.
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.
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.

The chamber ensemble of Symphonie Fantastique playing Beethoven’s Serenade for Flute, Violin and Viola in the church of the Teutonic Order, Vienna.
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.
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.
It is a privilege to me nominated for an award by a knowledgeable and very generous person. Aquileana’s contribution to the internet is Greek mythology, the story of a civilization accompanied by images, visual representations that portray the human experience.
I wish to thank Petrel41, dearkitty1.wordpress, for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger award. It is a privilege. I have nominated 15 bloggers, but had to replace one nomination. My nominee had an award-free weblog.

The Very Inspiring Blogger Award
Thank you Petrel14
First, allow me to thank Petrel14 for nominating me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I am truly touched. My WordPress family is very dear to me. The internet is at times inaccessible: it slows down, but it allows communication with people all over the world.
If you haven’t the time to follow the rules, please accept this nomination as an expression of appreciation and love.
To my surprise, I was also nominated for the Liebster Award. For this nomination, I have dearkitty to thank. Thank you dearkitty. May life be generous to you.
Please do not feel you have to accept this nomination. It seems to me that you should be able simply to let people know you have been nominated. My wish is to let my readers know just how much they mean to me and that I love them all, as do their WordPress colleagues.
