What?

 Has anyone tried Blogger's new beta features? Good heavens, why would I? To 'Create a more engaging reading experience with the help of Google', that's why! I think I'll give it a miss for the time being.

Anyhow, where was I? Stuck in December 2025, wishing it was over. As it's been over for several months I thought I'd post an update, after all I had a birthday yesterday! And Mr Devine published a glorious post in celebration of my passing years! He is correct, it has been very wet in Devon this winter, like living within a slime coated aquarium. It has been gloomy. So gloomy that I have been glued to the sofa watching crime dramas that I can't now recall; Taskmaster; and an entertainment programme with the nutritional value of a fried Mars bar [The Masked Singer]. I think I lost a lot of brain cells this winter.

BUT, in February there was a glimmer of hope when I made a collage! Yay! 

There, I hope this post is engaging enough? I will try to do better next time. Oh, one more thing, I am thinking of posting a daily photograph on my old WordPress blog as I already use it as a picture library for this blog. I bought a fancy camera a few years ago and never learnt to use it properly. I'm thinking that a commitment to a daily photo may force me to use it. I think I have had this idea before so don't hold your breath!!

Minimal Output

 I fear that I have become a minimalist. I am sparse with words; I am plain in my tastes; I like a simple existence. But I also like the occasional misplaced semi-colon to liven up my prose. 

On that note I now bring you a tiny minimal tale from my photo album featuring Mike, Heather, and Julia. I urge you to form your own narrative as I am far too lazy and minimal to do it for you.

I mean how pissed did they get to feel like they needed to apologise in a classified ad???? I will leave that with you.

Next Week: Surrealism via the medium of crayons.

It's Been Long Enough....

....since my last post for me to slap up something fresh and exciting. And, I have even redecorated for the occasion. I'd been wondering why I was so put off from using this Blogger blog and I think it was the theme; the colours; the vastness of it. I have now corrected all that bothers me about it.

So what have I been doing? Not a lot. Cleaning; reading; sorting through old family photographs; winning virtual garden competitions; finding ways to incorporate the semi-colon into my life, that sort of thing. And I have realised that I spend too much of my life planning and not doing, and I actually function better when I simply fling myself into something with no pre-planned direction. So here I am with a directionless post, but in the spirit of the 4fotos meme, invented by Mr Devine, I will share some of the most recent photos in my library, just to give you something to look at.

Firstly, a collage....

A garden pic....

Another collage...

And finally, my Auntie J. I don't think I asked enough questions about my Auntie J when I was child, and her image has left me pondering. She was a relative by marriage, and a much loved family member...I was sorting through the old photographs to see if I could use them for collage, so perhaps I was looking at these familiar pictures through a different lens. She was definitely a character!

Now, when I hit publish will my pictures go all blurry? Hope not.
