Through A looking Glass 1

A couple of month’s ago i asked some folk who had been dropping into my blog to write a guest post.

I gave them the theme « Mirror » and i asked each of them to apply their Personal Mirror (whatever that meant to them) to any one of my posts, or part thereof.

These are the results.

The Mirror Series, Part One. JANET. (link to her blog).

I first met Janet through a 31-day blog challenge that we both signed up for last year. Her blog is a mixture of teaching and personal, she lives down an unmade track in Italy and is married to a Hell’s Angel – well, he has a motorbike.

Mirror Post/Janet Ever since Chris popped in to comment on one of my blog posts, a reciprocal and mutual blogging friendship was forged. So when I was kindly invited to do a guest post on "Bits 'n' Bobs" blog, I felt greatly honoured, and I didn't hesitate to say yes. The novel and interesting idea of writing a "mirror" post of some sort really stimulated my imagination and I felt it was an invitation too enticing to refuse. I somehow feel that this is a kind of "Chronicle of a Post Foretold" and I feel privileged to be temporarily part of the inner sanctum of "Bits'n'Bobs/Show and Tell". I have taken the poetic liberty of combining a few "Mirror" postings, if I may. "oooooohhhh Spooky!" It's kind of spooky we have both covered a wide range of topics, some of which have concerned wild boar, hornets, 1st edition stamps, roads less travelled, and a host of other unusual matter. It's kind of spooky that Victoria has appeared in "Bits'n'Bobs" as a star protagonist in the now legendary and epic improvisation challenge story. Indeed, my cat Victoria played a major role in the dramatic unfolding of events. It's indeed spooky that hearts play a role in our posts. It's spooky that cats and dogs feature in different ways. It's spooky that we have a very strong connection with the Berlin Wall. Brave New World "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley is one of my favourite books and sits in my bookcase amongst other "Greats". This title was mirrored in a posting here. I feel we are indeed living in a Brave New World of sorts, where the future is uncertain. A world full of fast-paced technological movement and constant flux. A world where we can envisage the future Through a Looking Glass like no other generations before us. This New World which is emerging calls for Brave people to confront the future, which is inexorably hurtling towards us. Through the Looking Glass Bits'n'Bobs thrives on improvisation and unpredictability. It's at the forefront of experimentation and pushes itself to the limits, where no other blogs dare to go. That is why I really like it and follow it avidly. There is never a dull moment! It keeps you guessing and "on your toes", so to speak. It's also full of pathos and humour, sometimes inextricably linked, sometimes separate. I predict Through a Looking Glass that your blog will go from strength to strength. Janet's Abruzzo Edublog takes her hat off to you!!
