A thank you note

I am very honoured that Linda from Mirando el Catalejo has named Monomania Diaries one her favorite blogs.

Linda stumbled upon this blog by chance when she was searching the blogosphere for posts on a certain petite Romanian ballerina I idolize.

Now the funny thing is: Cojocaru is the reason I first stumbled upon Linda's own blog too, way before we even started reading each other's blogs regularly ... What can I say, we both have great taste, he he!
