Blog History

Prior to 2011 I had a blog by the same name that listed 1,000s of blogs by category and country.

For some inexplicable reason, Google, in its infinite wisdom, lost/closed/deleted my account. I lost more than four years of blogging.

I have continued blogging, but this time on Wordpress, this will be my only blog on Blogspot. I hope to resurrect what I had.

You can visit my other blogs, the links are on the sidebar.

Eventually, there will be Libraries added and worthy blogs linked.

For the Photographers

jukkatolppi photography a very simple blog as far as design goes, but the photography is brilliant.

As you can see, simple ideas captured beautifully.

Brilliant Handcrafts


Here's a sample
Altered Alchemy is a brilliant blog. I have known the author and crafter for some years; although, with the Google fiasco of my Blogspot blogs and account all disappearing, we lost contact.

Yesterday I found her blog again. It's changed, the style of her blog is wonderful, but her craft seems to have matured, it's awesome.

Luthien Thye is a truly remarkable person, which is reflected in her skills, a far cry from beginning life as a professional.

I can only suggest that you have a look and judge for yourself.

Ex-pat in Rio de Janeiro

Eat Rio is a great look at Rio de Janeiro from an Englishman's point of view.

Melzinho, literally 'little honey' image: Eat Rio
I am an ex-pat in Rio, but I look from a different angle and I find Tom's view refreshingly informative about life in this city of 12 million people. He talks about small things that I have overlooked like melzinho and how important it is on long journeys.

Blurb from his 'about': My name is Tom Le Mesurier. Originally from England, I travelled around quite a bit and am now settled in Rio. I enjoy food, drink and over-indulgence of all kinds.

If you want a good read, then definitely check this one out.

A New, but Prolific Blogger

Fractal Tree
Tony's Posts of Hypnotic Suggestion is a new blog, by admission in his latest post only 29 weeks old; in fact he hadn't read a blog until three months ago. All of which makes the quality of his posts even more dramatic. The posts are long, thoughtful and well worded, but appear to have a level of spontaneity about them.

The posts are varied, not doing random, red wine hiccups, Cataluña, Quantum Determinism, gate-crashing cells, slaps in the face by wet kippers and many other unique topics; all of which keep you wanting to read more.

In fact I am, at the moment, at a loss as to how to characterise this blog, what heading to put it under. But don't worry, that'll come to me.

As Tony is such a new blogger, this is the ideal place to welcome him to the blogosphere. While the Cafe is still in its infancy, my previous blog had quite a good readership, I am hopeful this version will attract a similar following and therefore add more readers to the blogs presented.

I've decided to park it under Niche Blogs in Library 1 at the moment.
