Yes, it’s time for me to end the suspense and announce the winner of the Parker-Hale / Widow Irish thing.
I’m going to be pulling the winning ticket from the hat* over the weekend, witnessed for its veracity by New Wife and anyone else who happens to be in the house at the time.
So if you haven’t got yourself a ticket but still want the chance, get it done by Saturday midnight (03/07/2026) so that you can be included in Sunday’s drawing.
One quick favor: a number of you did not include your email addy with your entry, and I may have missed a couple as well; so please could all participants send those to kim – at – kimdutoit.com, along with your full name so I can link the names/emails with the tickets. It’ll just make notification all the easier for me. (Yeah I know, I’m an idiot; but it’s been a long time since I last did something like this #OldFartMemoryIssues.)
Good luck, everyone.
*that’s not quite true, there’s no hat involved: each ticket entry is given a number, and then I run an @RAND(x,y) function on the spreadsheet to pick the winner.
