As I prepare this post, I'm a lot distracted watching the Platinum Jubiliee Pageant. Unashamedly. I'm loving the pomp, ceremony and fun. Perhaps it's not politically correct, but I did grow up in a household that discussed The Queen. As I watch, the Morris Minors are making their way down the Mall. My Grandmother worked in the factory in Oxford. In the war, to make bombs. After to build cars. My grandfather, who was killed in a shooting accident before the war, was an upholsterer. We suspect he, too, worked in that factory, upholstering car seats.
I'm also distracted with my market prep - more of that tomorrow. And there's a pot of marmalade bubbling on the stove...
So, without (much) further ado, my usual delegations to redfish that participated in this month's edition of #HivePUD -
For those not familiar with what I do each month after Power Up Day: I delegate 100 Hive to 3 participating accounts.
As I always say:
It's a combination of paying it forward and walking the talk. I remember what it's like to be a redfish and I remain forever grateful to the folk who supported me in those
steemyearly and confusing days on the blockchain. That's not to say I'm an expert now. I most definitely am not and my relative "success" on the Hive blockchain has been a combination of trial and error (quite a lot!) as well as learning by osmosis. A lot of all three...and at the risk of repeating myself, the help of good folk who cared enough to look out for noobs.
Nearly five years ago, when I started my cryptoblogging journey onboarding and support initiatives were few and far between. I am delighted that there are now several and I'm thrilled to be able to play a little role in helping people to hang around on Hive.
If you don't know what happens on Hive Power Up Day and how accounts stand to gain, read 
Each month, I set aside 300 HP that I delegate an equal share among three accounts that meet the basic Power Up Day Criteria.
In my case, though, and given my focus on redfish, the accounts must also be -
- be less than 6 months old
- have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day.
Posts that qualify must have 200 words or more and exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.
As a reminder, the reason I added the second criterion is because -
Hive is a social blockchain: it's for socialising, ruminating and just generally hanging out.- a reputation of less than 61
- not more than 500 HP in their accounts before they power up - both on the first of the month
After a few months of being spoilt for choice, this month, things were quite different. Traci sent me a very short list. I reviewed the accounts and only one met all my criteria so I consulted 
I have applied my additional criteria -
- have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day, i.e. since April 1st;
- that the posts do have 200 words or more (in English - because I'd like to be able to engage...) and
- exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.
This month, my three delegations have gone to 
Remember that in addition to the delegations,
