Another Tale From The Scrapbook….
Apologies for my absence, I have been busy with summer and taking photos for the Grand Gardening Competition in October, or sooner??
I have also made a collage, yay!!! I only seem to get into ‘making mode’ if I need to send something for a birthday, or for a calligraphy exchange. I don’t necessarily know the recipient of my calligraphy exchanges – I hope that I never cause offence and the worst I achieve is a quizzical frown. I receive such beautiful post – there is something within me that finds it impossible to reciprocate with a colourful flourish. Ack.
The other day I was pondering my early creative influences, and I came up with Pipkins; I remember my sister saying it was creepy, but I loved that moth-eaten Hare.
Anyhow, my collage!
Ack. Calligraphy is a beautiful art, and then I go and bring it down to my level.
Hallo Deutschland!!!
My stats are telling me that I am super popular in Germany and that views of this blog site have gone up 3,210% thanks to my German fans!!! Or a server based in Germany, who knows? In any case I thought I would welcome my new viewers and ask: Who sent you here???? Are you here for calligraphy??? Are you here for my ingenious prose? Should I ask this in German???? Okay then….
Meine Statistiken zeigen, dass ich in Deutschland super beliebt bin und die Aufrufe dieser Blog-Seite dank meiner deutschen Fans um 3,210 % gestiegen sind!!! Oder vielleicht auch wegen eines Servers in Deutschland, wer weiß? Jedenfalls dachte ich, ich begrüße meine neuen Besucher und frage: Wer hat euch hierher geschickt? Seid ihr wegen der Kalligrafie hier? Seid ihr wegen meiner genialen Prosa hier? Soll ich das auf Deutsch fragen? Na gut…
Curtesy of Google Translate, cos I don’t know any German.
Meanwhile, apologies to my loyal chums who generally stick with me through thick and thin. It has been too hot to do much other than stand on cold tiles and whinge about being too hot. I will try to catch up with my blog reading at the weekend, or later today.
Here is my latest collage…
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.
