I'd have to thank my lawyer this time...

It's been a brilliant year, but it's the last day today: the 2010 Travcom Awards are being held tonight, and it'll be somebody else's turn (probably) to gibber at the dais, bask in the glory and garner the rewards - including offers of travel to all sorts of wonderful places, and a faster track to editorial attention for the stories afterwards.

I could win again, of course, but even just writing that has probably jinxed it - and no-one's ever won twice in a row. But Juanita and I are a pretty good team...

Update: No records broken tonight, alas. Juanita let me down - and though Miguel did his best for me, it was hardly glory: highly commended (newspaper section). It was pretty much a clean sweep by the professional journos tonight. But I take some comfort from my Athenian balance: I was also a runner-up with my sole entry (people category) in the photography awards. So there's that.
