Good news everybody! Ms Scarlet in the Pantry with the Can-Opener, the unofficial and unauthorised biography of our very own Ms Scarlet is published today - Just in time for her birthday!
And, being the attentive and sharing witch that I am, I have at my disposal an exclusive excerpt from chapter ten "A Day In The Life". You won't find this using amuze.bouke.cusp's 'Look Inside' feature!
As always, just click the pics to embigulate to, if not prodigious, then at least quite large (and readable) proportions.

Thank you, Eros! It was easy to create something so splendid for someone so splendid!
DeleteIf invited to this year's soirée, I'm not falling for that con job like last year where I had to clean the poop deck because I had "nautical experience." Jeez.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Miss Scarlet!
AND you're a dab hand with a litter box, LX.
DeleteDrat! Who else can we manipula- I mean, who else can we find on such short notice?
DeleteI didn't get past the "A" section of Lakeland's A-Z of products.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of half that stuff!
I daren't look as I know that Castlette DeVice isn't big enough for it all!
DeleteI've got a birthday gift for Miss Scarlet.
ReplyDelete*pops away to post it*
And what a gift! I'm ever so slightly envious...
DeleteIs there any leftover custard tart?
ReplyDeleteSadly not. Ms Scarlet forgot her reading glasses and mistook it for Vaseline. See her reply to Norma, below - The place is absolutely covered in congealed custard!
Deletescarlett's far cuter than i ever imagined! especially for someone so old.
ReplyDeleteVaseline, Ms Norma!! Smear it everywhere. Employ others to run ahead to smear it on mirrors and windows that you may pass on your shopping trips. Vaseline is also jolly good for the knees, and eyelashes.

@Norma: Bwah hah hah hah haa!
Delete::slips in Vaseline/custard tart and skids out of sight::
Oh my word!!! The dress!!! That is so fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI will wear it when I meet Aidan later..... I will light up the tin mine as I glow.
Thank you, Mr Devine!! And thank you Ms Mistress!! You are both the bestest.
Sxxxxx
::air kisses::
DeleteWhen's the book signing? I just have to see if that gold leaf frock can withstand the privations of central heating. Jx
ReplyDeleteI fear the frock may be a'peeling...
DeleteA work of love, IDV ! Thank you for this peep into "A Day in the Life" of our heroine.
ReplyDeleteI wonder about the whereabouts of the Canadian frock.
I bought the book so you don't have to!
DeleteTypically, the book doesn't further mention the Canada-bound gown. Maybe it'll sell well enough for there to be a sequel? You'd better buy a copy, after all!
OMG!!!!! Have just opened my post box!!!!! I have the golden dress in my grubby little hands. I am gobsmacked! Thank you so much Mr Devine!!! You are so wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteMwah, Mwah!!!
Sxxxxx
P.S Obviously there will be a blog post tomorrow!
You are more than welcome, Ms Scarlet! It was a fun project despite my troubles with the theodolite...
DeleteOh, and I am gobsmacked too! I only put the card & frock in the post yesterday - Good old Royal Mail, eh?
Mwah, Mwah!!!
Mr. DeVice, I can't believe that we both overlooked CAKE.
ReplyDeleteLe gasp!
Delete::faints::
I baked the lovely lady a special cake, but I can't figure out a link .I guess you'll have to ask Scarlet to blog about it...
DeleteNever mind, it's on my blog.
DeleteEr, is it just me or is Dinahmow's cake invisible?
DeleteWell, something was invisible. Or, at least, well hidden behind a black tie...
DeleteNOW I see it. I couldn't see an image the first time 'round.
