As 2026 creeps ever closer so does The Laughing Horse Awards Night (XVIII). The design for this year's prized widget can now be revealed following heated debate at the highest level in Pudding Tower with input from the sponsors. Here it is...
I feel sure you will agree that this is a stunning, original design that takes widget art to a whole new level.
As in most previous years, the 2025 Laughing Horse Awards Ceremony will be held at a secret venue on the last day of the year. For the first time ever, key arrangements are being made using artificial intelligence (aka AI) so there should be no logistical problems whatsoever.

In other news, I have decided to remove the front of our house in order to build a golden ballroom in the garden. Previous occupants of this house always wanted a ballroom and now it's going to happen. I won't tell our neighbours or Sheffield City Council in case they try to prevent the project from even getting off the ground.
To tell you the truth, it is going to be the best ballroom the world has ever seen and the interior will be encrusted with sophisticated golden ornamentation - the likes of which the world has never seen. Yes it is going to be the most beautiful, fantastic building - like a great palace really - and it won't cost other bloggers a penny as I will be paying for it all with my own money.
Maybe it will be ready for use as The Laughing Horse Awards venue for 2026. One thing's for sure - it will be visible from outer space - its crystal chandeliers sparkling like starlight in the inky darkness.

In further, unconnected news, today I undertook a long circular and cameraless walk from home. It was split in half by a hot chocolate stop at Forge Dam Cafe where I sat for half an hour by the duck pond reading an autobiography I have just begun.
It was exactly forty five minutes to the cafe via The Porter Valley and then forty five minutes back home via Ivy Cottage Lane and Bents Green. On neither of these two legs did I pause for even a moment in spite of the gradients. Just kept right on walking in the chilly post-Christmas hiatus.

Sounds like a good outing after the strain involved in designing that ballroom.
