Michael Scutt's (aka Jobsworth) latest UK Blawg Round Up #3 is on the topic of Midsummer Madness. He includes the Inksters Give Blog in this and, in particular, Scott Greenfield wearing his Inksters Give T-Shirt. This results in Scott Greenfield's blog, Simple Justice, and his post on You're Not Atticus Finch (and neither am I) being the first non UK blog to be mentioned in a UK Blawg Round Up. The benefits of wearing an Inksters Give T-Shirt knows no bounds!
Michael Scutt kindly bought an Inksters Give T-Shirt but states in Midsummer Madness that "modesty prevents me from posting a photo of my gym-honed torso on this blog". With a little bit of persuasion and a competition between Michael, Valentilaw and Chris v C-B we can now exclusively reveal that gym-honed torso on the Inksters Give Blog:-

Midsummer Madness!

The mail has arrived in New York and Scott Greenfield is wearing his InkstersGive T-Shirt

The T-Shirts have been printed and today they were posted within the UK and to as far afield as Canada and the USA.

One recipient who has been waiting patiently by his mailbox is American Attorney, Blawger and Social Media Ninja, Scott Greenfield. Scott spends a lot of time by his mailbox waiting for Key Lime Pie and iPods. Corporate Sponsor, The Trial Warrior, kindly donated one of his T-Shirts to Scott and as this was posted to New York today the wait by the mailbox should not be for much longer. The T-Shirt will, of course, more than compensate Scott for missing out on the Grand Prize that Adrian Dayton won from the Lexis Nexis booth at the Inside Counsel Superconference.

Perhaps Scott will provide us with a photo of him by his mailbox wearing the T-Shirt for a future blog post.
InkstersGive recommends you take a look at Scott's blog at Simple Justice. It makes for a very good read and not just for lawyers.
The T-Shirt (an updated version of the original one) now contains the logos of all 12 Corporate Sponsors: Inksters, Page \ Park, Innovation Digital, The Trial Warrior, Harley Haddow, Theatreplan, Silverman Sherliker, Valentilaw, Barr Brady, Océ, Jeffrey Aitken and Armitage Associates.
The profits from the sale of the T-Shirts amounts to £83.01 which will go to Habitat for Humanity to help the residents of 22 de Enero in La Matanza build a better future.
Thanks to everyone who bought the T-Shirt and have helped make a difference.
If you have not donated yet but would like to then please visit and donate at JustGiving. It would be nice to reach the £7,000 mark - we are nearly there.

Yesterday I tweeted "Seems we have skipped Spring and gone straight from Winter to Summer!"
That Summer weather resulted in Nicola and I working in our garden. My task for the day was removing bricks from a rockery created by a previous owner at the bottom of the garden and moving them to the top of the garden. The plan is to recycle them in some future project.
This task made me think back to our time in Argentina and our friends at 22 De Enero. On our very first working day we moved bricks for Daniel and created a human chain to assist the process.


Yesterday I had to shift the bricks myself and I realised how much quicker it would have been with the help of others. This reminded me of Germán who had told us that our help had accomplished in one afternoon what would have taken him several days to do on his own. Indeed this was true of all the projects we worked on in 22 De Enero.
Many hands do indeed make light work.

It is heartening to see donations still coming in for Habitat for Humanity 3 months after we returned from Argentina. Since the beginning of this month a total of £100 has been donated (£50 online and £50 off-line).
The total raised to date stands at £6,801. All monies raised go directly to help the work of Habitat for Humanity in the 22 de Enero neighbourhood.
We will be continuing to accept donations for the next few months. If you have not donated yet and would like to please visit and donate at JustGiving.
Your donations could help Alejandro and his family build a home.

This afternoon the top 100 Scottish Blogs were revealed at the Scottish Roundup website.
We were delighted to discover that the Inksters Give Blog came in at a very respectable 23rd.
We had, of course, yesterday discovered that we were 8th in the top 25 general /personal blogs and 5th in the top 25 newcomers blogs of 2009.
Whilst a Scottish based blog we have of course, on the main, been blogging about the Habitat for Humanity Global Village Challenge in Argentina. We are therefore very pleased to have received this recognition in a Scottish Blogging Awards. Perhaps it was the Selkirk Grace that did it!
Thanks again to all those that voted for the Inksters Give Blog and don't forget that donations to Habitat for Humanity can still be made at: www.justgiving.com/argentina2009

Having this morning proudly announced that the InkstersGive Blog came 8th in the personal or general blog category of the ScotBlogs Awards we were surprised and very happy to learn this afternoon that we had also come 5th in the Top 25 newcomers of 2009 category. The awards have been gradually revealed over the course of the past week at the Scottish Roundup website.
It is very gratifying that our Blog has been so well received in the short time that Nicola and I have been blogging. It gives us encouragement to continue the Blog. When we returned from Argentina I did say it was over but not out. So keep visiting the InkstersGive Blog and we will keep blogging about the work of Habitat for Humanity and the progress being made in 22 de Enero.
