Light Project and I had our second photoshoot day, and just as the Vianne's Confession shot was finished, Italian Elle magazine asked for a picture! Witchcraft, I tell you.
I gather it went down well in Italy @joannechocolat.bsky.social

Greetings New York, from London where the leaves have fallen, but not much else. The sky though! Wibbly.
Anyway, welcome to Team Rational.

I'm one of the privileged fountain pen nerds who got a bottle of the new Pelikan Edelstein Apricot Achat ink on Friday night. I've put it into a Sailor with a fude nib. 😁 Sorry. My other obsession leaked out.

Just occasionally, I find myself in the coolest room on the planet at the right time. #same.band

This person just followed me. I wondered why, so checked the profile and found that it only follows 22 older women from various countries. I wonder why? What next? A DM? 😁 Or am I too cynical.

HSBC worries me more every day.

Thanks. I found a Shaeffer Snorkel too. 😁

Today I bought a yellow fountain pen from a gentleman named Adolphus Smith, who made it by hand and travelled from Ohio to the London Pen Show. I'd saved up for some special things and this one called to me.
Everything about this makes me happy.

I am wearing double Studio Coverdale as you can never have too many imaginary flowers in your scarf and hoodie.

Sometimes, perfume making takes me to the best places to meet marvellous people.

Here's the man at the piano, and you playing air bass while singing along. It was a lovely morning.

Four buses and four trains, five hours to get to Crystal Palace Subway and back. Totally worth the bother.

When you see parallel escalators do you ever race each other to the top by just standing there to check which one is faster?
Just us? 😄
I won today. Bond Street Elizabeth Line, east exit.

This was a good day for perfumery experiments with frankincense. #artisans

Work in progress. I made this fragrance, which smells complex but is made with three unusual naturals and one synthetic but naturally occurring molecule. I love it. Ought I to try harder, or leave it be?

Note to self. Stay away from Threads.
In the news, I had an excellent cup of Persian tea last night after an excellent meal at Mahdi's in Hammersmith.

I return from the north with the best cheese.

This is another bot set up to capture followers who are not supporting the Nectarine Narcissus.
They only repost, with no original content. Blockety block.

Here's Tina Turner on TV, and there on the right is John Miles who was my parents' neighbour. (He was Mr. Errington, that nice man with the white grand piano.) He fetched their shopping when it was a bit icy out. Lovely chap. He toured with Tina for 22 years.

Greetings from London to our US customers.
We're very sorry but until we know what's going to happen with the Uber Orange's new tariffs, duties and admin charges we're going to have to suspend US shipping on 20th August.
Canada, you're fine.

When your Oxfam shop books coordinate with your Shelter shop dress, and the whole lot adds up to less than £30, you've had a good day. (Chiswick: best charity shops ever.) #sheltershopfind

We can tell you now.
I've made a fragrance for Elvis Presley. It was approved by the people who authorise such things for his estate and is wafted through the new multi-sensory experience in Docklands.
You can't buy it yet, but we're working on that.
