….with a nice knitting pattern resulting in World peace. In September 2022 Devine was coerced into a writing collaboration with Ms Scarlet Ambrosia Blue [1917 – ?]. This arrangement proved to be beneficial for them both as each time a new instalment was published readers would clamour to their blogs desperate to be the first to leave a pithy insightful comment, and perhaps be instrumental to furthering the plot. However, the collaboration was short lived and ended when Blue cried foul play. During the climax of their epic adventure Devine turned Blue into a mouse thus rendering her a mere squeak in the Blogosphere. With hindsight it is clear that Blue was suffering from the delusions that would later become the inspiration for her Mogwashian Opus [paperback only – £0.99, Amazon] – as with all of Blue’s work it contained too many commas, lacked a perceivable structure and a satisfactory conclusion, and, to make matters worse, it had an irrelevant, long-winded chapter about using cheese as an insulation material.
In March 2023 Inexplicably Devine had another birthday, specifically on the 22nd March, although it was seen to spread well into April, and popped up again in both August and November for an encore. By this time Devine was at his most creative and influential; aided and abetted by his new familiar, Bertie, Devine found fresh impetus to watch science-fiction based visual media whilst ensconced on a long upholstered seat with a back and arms that provided physical ease and relaxation. It was from this place of comfort that Devine was kidnapped and then trapped in what he colourfully described as the ‘Rubber Ducky Room’. This room would become the blueprint for Devine’s much lauded….

What? Birthday? Why did I not know a bout this (other than the fact that my memory is losing some cogs)
Also, why did this (above) post end abruptly?
Someone had better sort out the croque em bouche. Stat!

Time-travelling trousers? Or travelling in his trousers? I’m not awake enough yet for figuring this out. Plus, I’m overwhelmed with Star Trek art. How can I possibly make sense of anything?

I really hope that the delivery to the Rubber Ducky Room was a crate of time-travelling trousers (32W 36L, preferably. And not skinny fit!) as they may be the only way out of this predicament.
Failing that, a pyramidal croque em bouche might do it.

Mr Devine – I seem to have an interest in the pyramidal croque em bouche – is this something to do with Ferrero Rocher?

There is of course an entirely different account in Langovsky J, Navigating the Blogosphere (Snipcock and Tweed, £19.99), in which among other things birthdays have been abolished and Ms Scarlet Blue far from becoming a mouse gains various super-powers such as x-ray vision and telepathy.

Oh, no! I hope we all have access to lead-lined underwear and tin foil hats in this alternate version? Or is this account from the primary timeline and is the one that actually happened?! Why didn’t we finish the story?!?!

I think Peter Wilmslow must have been getting his info second, or even third hand? Or has even mistaken you for The Very Mistress and me for Jon? Did readers ever “clamour to [our] blogs desperate to be the first to leave a pithy insightful comment”?
Well, apart from either of us to each other’s blog, of course.
Anyway, thank you for the futuristic birthday post, Ms Scarlet!
Now, I must be off as I have to think of something wonderful and marvellous – and capable of being critically acclaimed – to make out of my Rubber Ducky Room experience so as not to cause a hideous time paradox in 2036!
