New Blog!

 Happy National Olive Day! I can’t bear olives, so I shall be celebrating National Dinosaur Day instead by pretending to be a pterodactyl. ‘Squawk…squaaaaaark…flap, flap, flappity, flap flap!’ So nice to have an option, don’t you think?

I digress…

I’ve started a new blog as part of setting up my new ‘Hallo Tarot!’ business. I’ve called it ‘Hallo Tarot!’ (I did consider calling it ‘Hallo Sausage!’ but realised this would probably cause an element of confusion amongst potential readership. Don’t want to attract any unsavoury types, eh? The newbie blog can be found at:

hallotarotpathways.blogspot.com

Of course, I shall continue with ‘Oh, My Days!’ because one needs a space to vent one’s spleen and chat witty shite about every day shizzle. Also, I’ve started writing the Much Malarkey Manor Christmas Story 2023 (I know! How organised/sad is THAT???) and it will need a suitable platform. 

Now I need to go and bottle some of this initial-flush-of-excited-enthusiasm that I’m feeling with the launch of a new project. Something to quaff on when I’m having days when I wished I’d never started ANOTHER blog because it’s ANOTHER thing I have to deal with, and doesn’t the Universe realise I have ENOUGH to deal with already, for chuff’s sake? 

Feel free to read, or not read, as you will. I know the subject won’t be up everyone’s street. If everyone liked everything, I’d be reading about Doctor Who.

Here is Nell, reading my new blog over Lord Malarkey’s shoulder. You can see she is riveted…

Your eyes ARE deceiving you, KJ! It’s a blue sofa! I believe the description was ‘Soft Sapphire.’ But definitely blue. iPad photos are VERY unreliable, colour wise.

The Frosted Dawn Enigma

The decorators are in at the moment. Stairs and landing. Given my previous history of 'Hoo Ha Occurring on Stairs ' - reference the Trapped Under the Sofa Incident and the Foot Wedged Between Bookcase and Stair Rise Debacle - I thought it wise to pay for professionals to decorate the stairs and landing rather than get myself in a mix with ladder and plank combinations and achieve the Magic Three of staircase accidents. The decorators are a father and son combo who go by the  names of Craig and David. This automatically causes me entertainment. 'Came in on a Monday, prepped, filled and undercoated, back on Thursday, first top coating, by Friday finishing touches...' Okay, not as frisky or well-scanned as the original song, but you get where I'm coming from. Anyway, before they started the job Craig asked what colour I wanted for the walls. 'Same colour as the downstairs walls, please,' said I. 'Dulux Frosted Dawn.' And then white for all the woodw

Day 1 - Decisions Are Made Beyond the Author's Control.

‘Well,’ I say, looking at the expectant faces gathered around the huge table in the Great Dining Hall of Much Malarkey Manor, ‘I didn’t think it was going to happen this year, but it is!’ There is a sharp intake of breath as everyone wonders of what I speak. I’ve been muttering about all sorts recently, and I’m not talking liquorice here either.   ‘The Much Malarkey Manor Annual and Traditional Christmas Story!’ I say, and wait for the expulsed air of relief to settle before I continue. ‘I thought we had done it all. I thought we had covered every Christmas story there was. I’ve been wracking my brains for a full two months now, trying to come up with something we haven’t done before and then it hit me! We haven’t done a version of one of the Great Christmas Films of Yore!’ ‘Your what?’ says Mrs Slocombe, who is more interested in the selection of pastries I have brought to this breakfast meeting, because that is what one does, isn’t it? Eat pastries at breakfast mee

Launched!

  I was going to wait until tomorrow to launch the ‘Hallo Tarot!’ website, what with tomorrow being 1st July and, therefore, a nice tidy date for a beginning. But this afternoon, I became involved in a flurry of final tidy loose ends activity, and thus ended up cracking the metaphorical bottle of champagne against the ship of which I am Captain and whoosh! Off she went into the World Wide Web!  You can find it here : www.hallotarot.co.uk The blog is moving there, too, so unless things go horribly wrong, this will be the last entry here.  I hope to see you on the other side then! Let me know what you think.
