I’ve Been Tagged! – Blogger Tag and My Seven Links

I’ve just been tagged by Margaret of Cachando Chile and now I’m “IT!…”Thanks Margaret! Thank goodness for virtual travel – Chile is a long way from Portugal.

Who made this game up? I have no idea!, but the way it works is a blogger tags you, you match your own posts in specific “Most this” and “Most that” categories, and then you tag another 5 people. I was hesitant at first, however, it has given me a great opportunity to look back and review some old posts. I’ve just realised – I missed my first BlogAversary in May – how time flies!

Here are my “Seven”

Most Beautiful Post

FADO – is like Marmite!

Not sure about the post being beautiful, but we went to a Fado concert and Mariza sung with such passion she moved me to tears. Mariza is a Fado singer in a class of her own and it is the most memorable experience I’ve had since moving to Portugal.

Most Popular Post

In terms of comments my most popular post is:

Proud Grandparents

We are so proud of our daughter; everything she has been through during her pregnancy, the birth and more. Thank you for being such a great daughter you have brought great happiness to our lives as your daughter will yours!

Most Helpful post

Cost of Living in Portugal

Before we decided to make the move to Portugal we spent hours agonizing over the “Cost of Living” and how it compared with such countries as the UK, France and Spain.

A Post whose success surprised me

Gazanias in January.

I was really taken by surprise when this humble post was “Freshly Pressed” I’d never really considered freshly Pressed before, so I was absolutely astounded when I looked at my stats and they’d gone off the scale! I had to refresh the page and clean my glasses to make sure I had not misread the figures.

Most Controversial Post

This is a difficult because several of my posts have been “Controversial” However, the controversial post with the most controversial comments is:

A Turkish “experience” in France

A Post that Didn’t get the Attention I felt it deserved

The Red Palm Weevil – is it out of control?

I felt/feel passionately about the Red Palm Weevil. Very little, if anything, has been implemented to control, dispose of infected trees and of course publicity to prevent the spread of this destructive bug. Even now I see infected trees dumped at the rubbish bins and trees just left to die untreated. Some opportunists, looking to make a “quick buck”, have jumped on the bandwagon by offering to remove infected trees, but at extortionate prices.

Post I’m Most Proud Of

Easy! My very first blog post!

Yummy Carrot Cake… mmm
My daughter PigletinFrance helped me create my blog and taught me how to write and upload my first post “Yummy Carrot Cake… mmm” in May 2010

I’ve just realized my first post was a food post!

*****************************************

I really enjoy bloggin’, especially connecting with other bloggers across the world. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive!

Mirth and Motivation Motivate. Elevate. Laugh. Live Positively…

Actually ignore the above deletion – if anyone wants to to be tagged so they can form their own tag team and go forth and multiply links and promote new blogs, please let me know – your tagged and rules are made to be changed!
