Blog of the Week: New Theme for Tuesday 7 December 2021

hive-106316 (70)in Silver Bloggers • 2 years ago (edited)

Before we get to this week’s theme, we have some people to thank:

Silver Fish - last edition's winner - for the gift of 10 Hive, and especially for the lovely wallet memo: ...To Sponsor This Awesome Community...
Silver Dish for 20 Hive For the #bow prize pot

If this is something you'd like to do - sponsor a #bow prize or donate to the community - send Hive or HBD to the community account (@hive-106316) or to @lizelle or to @fionasfavourites with the memo: #bow prize sponsorship and we'll make sure it gets to the right place.

And, a special mention of Jackie O'Silver who came across our housekeeping post from a while ago, and gave it a 3 HBD tip. For those of you who don't know, this is a way to reward authors for those posts that have past their pay out date - days, weeks, months and even years later : all tips go directly to the account holder's wallet.

Some housekeeping - as usual

🌻A reminder🌻

For those of you who are regular contributors to the Silver Bloggers Community #bow initiative, and newcomers, too, a reminder that:

The winners' announcement is separate from the new theme. If you missed the winning post, you'll find it here.
to keep things fair: the same person (account) may not win twice in succession.

In summary, last edition's winner may enter, but the contribution, like those of the judges' panel, will not be eligible for a prize .

Theme for the Week closing on Tuesday 7 December 2021

Little did we know, when we started discussing this week's theme that by the time we shared this post, the world would be staring at the prospect of yet another lockdown. Over the weekend we all heard the news of South Africa being red-listed again, and burgeoning Covid cases. And then, ~~they~~ South Africans described the new variant and "Oh!" it got a name...

So, to the theme for this edition:

Looking back to look forward:

how will your

✨New Year 2022✨

party plan shape up against your

💃1992 New Year's celebration💃?
