I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

We both knew that, left in the packet like new, I’d never ever use those Peerless Watercolours and even though we’d come across a solution to that, we thought it a bit OCD.

But I’d already written the names on the back of each card square, because otherwise, how could I tell which side was the “loaded” side and which was the blank back?

Otherwise, how would I know that this purply pink square was Viridian Green?  And, actually, the cards themselves are pretty messy to handle since the watercolour/dye dust comes off onto my hands quite readily.

So, there was nothing for it.

I had to do it.

Just the job for a day at home after a busy weekend.

I even put them in a suitably decorative cover and heard the chuckles from way over the Atlantic, there above the George Washington Bridge.

More from Devon in the next post.

I am howling and then I am thinking if I send you my set will you cut them up and glue them for me??? I have been knee deep in book club because I was leading and also suggesting the next book and I had to do it all fast. More on the blog about it, maybe this week. I am loving the seagreen toenails also by the way
