One Four All
I will have a go at Mr Devine’s smashing idea of posting 4 pictures in the hope that it will prompt me to post more often. Unfortunately, I have a hissy fit when trying to post pictures on Blogger, so WordPress it is. Apologies for that.
A collage!! I made a collage!!
This is not THE big pink bush, but a different pink bush that flowers earlier in the year.
Barney has grown! He still has aspirations of becoming a Great Dane.
AND, another collage!!!
Blimey, this almost makes it look like I’ve been busy.
And Now This….
C2 has a point, I should stop waffling on in my posts. So I bring you this – I will leave this here without any further explanation.
Christ, I thought it was Friday, but have a nice weekend in any case.
A Curious Week
I have had a curious week. There has been a fruitless telephone conversation with a pension company, followed by a random cheque received from Scottish Widows with no covering letter to explain what the money is for. Maybe they appreciated my calligraphy so much that they sent me money for making an effort. I had previously explained to them that my investigations proved that they had sold my old workplace pension to another pension provider. I know better than to cash-in random cheques. I will wait patiently for the explanation that will no doubt arrive some time in May 2026.
To soothe my weary soul – and it is weary, what with all the football and politics colliding on our screens – I made another collage. I am rather fond of this one:-
And this is it before it was stuck down:-
It takes a lot of time to find an assemblage of pieces that I am happy with and when I do I take a quick snapshot of it so that I don’t forget where I’ve placed all the papers.
I haven’t had an ear-worm this week – Elegia kept popping in for a reprise – it seems I am still watching Pretty in Pink in my head, so I can’t go wrong with another from that film….
Have a good week, and don’t forget to vote for one of those 2 men!! Or somebody else if you have a choice.
A Seamy Tale of Cheap Love After 7pm….
I made this….
Yes, I have collaged my favourite Private Eye clipping featuring the seamy affair between Mr R D Smith and his part-time love, Mrs Kelly, stitched together and exposed via the media of misprints and classified ads. I haven’t made a collage for almost a year, so I’m pleased that I tried. I’m not altogether happy with the result, but I framed it all the same…
This photo isn’t so much about the collage, it’s about the rain running down the window pane. Yep, whilst the rest of the UK basks in glorious sunshine the rain still finds Devon. And what is this nonsense about a heat warning for the whole country from Monday???? The temperatures here are forecast to get no higher than 23C on Wednesday – which is normal.
I finish with my ear worm of the week – I thank Jon for this as he unwittingly put it in my head. This is the short version…
Next Week:- Joy rushed to the oven. “I do believe my buns are on fire” she cried.
All Better….
Thank you for your well wishes – they worked, I am now well, other than a bit of a sniff. Having Covid was an experience – it was like having a cold and the flu at the same time, the one blessing was that although it was intense it was also short lived. It felt like it went on forever but in reality I was only glued to the sofa for about a week. My advice if you catch it is to do absolutely nothing until the worst of it passes and that way you will probably heal faster. Most people already know this! I was thankfully very late to the party.
Meanwhile, I am trying to get back into calligraphy and being a little bit creative. I feel very bland and unimaginative – but I managed to make this….
Car Crash
And when the sun came out [briefly] it was time to make hay leaving the view green and pleasant…
Pretty Colours
Moody…
As a bonus, and because I’ve been sifting through old photographs, here is a picture of me that I managed to develop from a very old negative with help from a iPad app.
Someone give her an After Eight…or a Campari
