The estimable Institute of Excellence has honoured this blog with one of its coveted awards:
The best blog post about science, poetry and fairies, 2009.
This is a bit like winning an Oscar or a BAFTA, but only a bit. The award winning post: How W. H. Auden reconciles a respect for science with belief in fairies won the prize for being the best, and indeed only blog post about science, poetry and fairies.
I am grateful to Quentin Stafford Fraser's Awardify for the recognition.
