Thanks for all the info Mike, have to wait for the assistance of one of my young techies to come to my aid as you probably realise by now I am illiterate in relation to the works of the bicycle!!
In relation to the 7 questions you refer to all that is required is that you say 7 things about youself – they don’t have to be too personal.

Hi Meredith, I am coming down with nominations lately, way back I made the decision of being ‘awards’ free I thank you for thinking my scribblings worthy of an award, I hope you are not offended if I decline, being accepted into the community that is ‘Blogsvile’ having people follow, like, comment, read and communicate for me is award enough.
Thanks again,
Chris.

Haha, I just looked at your blog and of course it has tons of poetry (I should have looked first shouldn’t I?) I commend you on it; I find it very hard to do (well).
I’ll admit that generally when I come across poetry posts I skip them but I do on occasion have a read and sometimes I find excellent pieces that I can relate to, and yet others to me don’t make sense. I am sure this is a fault on my part rather than the authors.
It is something that I feel that I should like (a bit like ale) but I am having difficulty with it (again like ale).
So it is my turn to apologise in case I caused offence.

Every one to their own I say, but I find it an education reading through the variety of posts – oh and I am a lager person – my taste buds never took to ale.
Happy writing,
