So there I was, scanning the airwaves on Twitter, picking up gossip and passing it on, as you do, when something happened which could have knocked me down with a feather.
This, in fact:
Rover is a great favourite of mine. Assuming the simultaneous personae of a cat and an arch criminal, it is never long before followers start calling him ‘Boss’. We, his devotees, are Twitter henchmen. Twenchmen.
Rover is also Sarah. Sarah E Smith, the writer of The End of The Pier Affair. A book which combines my favourite locations and all the intrigue of a classic thriller,with a writer’s voice which draws you in immediately. Very English, extremely straightforward. And extremely more-ish.
You can find it here: and here.
And back to Shorty Awards: coveted amongst those who haunt cyberspace, they honour the very best of Social Media. And I have my own Shorty page. Thanks to Rover, who is a first class operator. Thanks, Boss.
Anyhow: despite the fact I am a very small wheel in an extremely awesomely large machine, I have industriously prepared a biography and a mission statement and – stepping outside my comfort zone once again, following the Wayfarer award – a campaign video.
Can you still call them videos?
And so, with apologies for the Mememememememe-ness of this post, here is a short film entitled All About Me so you can pop over to my Shorty page – Blofelds_cats – here – and cast a nomination in my direction.
For Me.
And now: enough about me. Lets watch a Prezi – use the arrows at the bottom of the screen to navigate through.
Sharing of any kind would be most excellent.

Or for YouTubers, (links not live!):
All very well deserved!
Thank you, Kate 🙂
Go you!
😀 Just about to hire a bunch of cheerleaders to shout the very same thing, Nancy.
Congratulations! (Neither me nor this computer are up to date enough to process your ‘video’ but it looks amazing!) 🙂
Youtube version duly posted now, IE 🙂
Hehe, I hope that isn’t just for me! I did try to vote too but that didn’t like me either ;(
I tweeter nominated you and put it on my Facebook page. You deserve it. The trouble with Twitter is that I’m not even warmed up when they tell me it’s too long. I need more space to ramble on about quirks of English history, from the mysteries of life to the intricacies of dog poo. See, it’s too long already and I’m not even warmed up. I hope you win it.
Gale, thanks again 🙂 Twitter is great for tip-offs. I pick up some great stories there…
My pleasure and thanks for the review. You will find the prawns in the usual place 🙂
Sent the Tomcat to fetch them, Boss. Much obliged.
Carry on 🙂
Reblogged this on More than a Cat.

Congratulations, Kate. Your stories are entertaining and informative. Best wishes.
Thanks Judy 🙂
Well done, Kate! Absolutely nothing wrong with mememememeness! Hehehe! 😉
Thanks you Tom 🙂 It is ages since I have been over. My Mac had a cataclysmic hard disc crash and I lost my treasured favourites library which housed you all. Slowly I am piecing it back together. An backing up much more carefully. Hope all is well with you!
The prezi is im-prezzi-ive indeed!
Why does the video sneer, ‘This video is private,’ at me?
Whoopswhoopswhoops! I think I have now saved it as public, Col. Though it is really just a version of the Prezi….thanks for the heads-up!
After all my dogged resistance for so long, you have now caused me to join the Twit brigade!
Now the video works – or was that sheer coincidence?
No. You are officially a Twit, Col 😀
Well done, dear Kate, and well deserved! I’m grinning from ear-to-ear here.
Thanks Penny !
This makes me very happy! I will make my way through the links and do my thing on your behalf. 🙂
Hope I did it correctly! This whole twitter thing can really sink me! LOL!
You did, Debra, most appreciated 🙂
Love this! For my money, you can memememememe all you’d like! Can’t figure the voting part (suspect it’s because I’m not “twittering,”) but you’d have mine if I could!
Congratulations! Meme-ness forgiven 😉 . Nice campaign video (I’ll go with video).
Woohoo! Way to go, Kate . . . CONGRATS and love your campaign video!
