blogroll failure of 2026 meaning that nobody notices when anyone updates their blog horrific it s also quiet because everyone has gone on holiday except me and mr devine it is just us hollering at each other across the shires i thought i would post some collages that failed to make it to my blog but they failed for a reason so here is one from 2022 maybe i ll make some fresh ones whilst

upload a picture of my christmas envelopes for 2025 this might be my last set of calligraphy christmas cards because i struggle to write with my pointed nibs now i think it s my eyes they ve become more long sighted over the years making my writing position awkward and ineffective plus i can t see what i m doing anymore not even varifocals help ack and after a session of calligraphy i am grumpier than a fried orchid on a dusty windowsill not relaxed or happy with anything i ve written so i think that s enough with it hopefully in a couple of hours this post will restore mr devine s

devine for your birthday i am giving you a nice man in knitwear i am sure you will be delighted i promise i will not leave him hanging on your blog for long i see that mr devine has also taken a picture of the night sky for his most recent post this is interesting symmetry as i too popped out into the darkness last night to capture the stars on my camera especially for mr devine i know he likes stars bizarrely this effort looks incredibly similar to a previous birthday post back in 2018 where i tried to pass off black paper as the night sky everyone was fooled but the one today is real i am getting more authentic in my very old age one of the reasons i want to learn how to use my posh camera is that i want to take a genuinely good picture of the stars maybe by this time next year i ll manage it have a great day mr devine share this share on x opens in new window x share on pinterest opens in new window pinterest email a link to a friend opens in new window email more share on

march 22 2026 by scarlet tales from the windowsill 18 replies back in may 2019 i published a post featuring my newly acquired orchid me and that orchid have been through a lot since then it almost died but i managed to nurse it back to life and it even flowered again i was thrilled unfortunately when my puppy barney arrived i had to keep the orchid out of his way and i stupidly put it in the conservatory where it got far too hot and it now looks like this sigh i know it looks ready for the bin but it does still have green roots and i m not ready to give up on it yet maybe i should try repotting it any advice welcome meanwhile some damn fool who knew how upset i was about it gave me this ready for your close up the new orchid can see the shrivelled one from across the windowsill i ve promised i ll look after it and i won t let it suffer the same fate though i m sure it shakes every time i come near it share this share on x opens in new window x share on pinterest opens in new
