Hello everyone!
A few days ago I commiserated celebrated my 39th Birthday and honestly, my mental state was a lot more positive than I remember when I turned 29. Is it really true that some things do improve with age? In your 40th year, you certainly start to hope so!
Currently, yo vivo en Mallorca, which is an island off the eastern coast of Spain. This time of year it's a bit chilly (anything sub 15c/60f is cold to me!) but during the spring and summer it's a lovely place to spend your time.
On a sunny winter's day though, you can still don your Steemit t-shirt and take some birthday selfies :)
Cheeky
Cheesy
Another bonus is that my mum lives here too, so unlike many recent years gone by, I was treated to my favourite snack for lunch.
CHEESE ON TOAST!
Cheesiness
Shitloads of salt, and cheese covering all the bread - that's the way to do your grilled cheese on toast!
Mother also has a dog named scruff, who acts like a cat, hates cats, and gets spoilt terribly. Yes, I'm jealous! But I still have room in my heart for some stroke-time.
Cheesiest
Right that's enough cheese and teeth for a little while!
In trying to think of a blog to cover my birthday in a way that wasn't just
'hi selfie, it's my birthday, up-vote me I deserve it!'
I put my #stewardsofgondor thinking cap on, and up popped a thought bubble...
Why not go see who joined and posted on your birthday this year?
An idea was born :D
After a little scripting I managed to present a list of about 15 posts, and from this found 3 to be worth of a birthday style welcome.
3000 characters sneaks me under the recommended Curie minimum ;)
All three posts received a reasonable up-vote (I'm a bit of a tight-arse with vote weight cause I like to share the love) and the messages below:
Curation is time-consuming and sifting through the new stuff can be draining, I found this method fun and hope that these guys are encouraged by the welcome message and extra boost. It's a great time to be involved here, so lets try an make as many folks welcome as possible.
Has anyone else got an interesting or unusual approach to curating they would like to share?
