I'm always promising pictures but not delivering, so here is one of me looking particularly pleased with myself.
The award I'm holding is the one I was given on Friday, for the third place in English, in the Feile Filiochta Poetry Competition: it's a lovely little bronze plaque. It was a fantastic evening sitting listening to poems being delivered in Irish, Scots Gaelic, Cymreg, Polish, German, Italian, French and English.
Apparently this is the last year of Feile Filiochta on its own: next year Poetry Ireland will have a role to play in this high-profile competition.
There's a lovely edition of all the winners' poems nestling on my shelf now.

Hello, Barbara!
I loved this post and this blog.
Have a nice day
lovely lovely lovely you! And very well done x
Thanks David and Belle - still feeling quietly pleased :)
Thanks CS :)
The Irish puss who got the cream - so very well done, Babs. Lovely pic but it can never show your ' inner twinkle'.
That's very true, Minx, I keep me inner twinkle for those that know me well ;)
I've long known that I'm quite ugly in photographs!
That is the most, singularly, ridiculous thing you have ever said. For an intelligent woman you really are quite gorgeous!
Oh no, Minx, I have been known to say quite a lot of ridiculous things in my time... many of them still haunt me!
Excellent, Barbara! Well done. It's up up up. :-)
Lovely pic and a richly deserved award! Well done!
Thanks S and Jon. Now I must knuckle down and get this MA finished - so much writing to do, it's not funny!
That's gorgeous, well done you!
Many congrats, Barbara.
Thanks Apprentice and Dick! :)
Oh lovely post. Lovely award. Lovely you.
Don't think much of those curtains though ...
PS - meaning you should have a red carpet, not brown curtains ...
LOL! Debi calls my dubious curtains into question... :)
Red carpet - oh yes please!
