A Write Panic Reference: Things on Chairs

 This post is an accompaniment to the A Write Panic blog post, Things on Chairs (which was gathered together and written by me).  It's just a little reference list of the items that feature at the end of my part of the story.
 If you haven't already done so, I urge you to go and give A Write Panic a read.  It is a collaborative blog from the mind of Ms Scarlet (she also set it up and organised it, too!) which features ten talented and enthusiastic bloggers - oh, and me.
 There are no spoilers in this post, so the story won't be ruined if you read this first.  Particularly as these objects are what I imagined were the "things on chairs" at the end of my latest A Write Panic post, but as I didn't describe them with any definition (well, except for the fondant fancy and the Ferrero Rocher), someone else may depict them in a different way.

The spindle shaped vial containing that blue potion, is none other than the Elixir of Life as featured in the film Death Becomes Her.

[image missing]  Unfortunately, I can't show you the pink fondant fancy as it got et.
(I can tell you, however, that it wasn't a Mr Kipling cake, otherwise it would have been a French Fancy)

The towel - a spare on loan from the Beeblebrox Estate - a very useful object (and 100% Egyptian cotton, no less).

The "old clay pot with mould growing inside it" is Daughter of the Fifth House, Lwaxana Troi's, Sacred Chalice of Rixx.  I'm sure the Holy Rings of Betazed were on another chair further down the corridor...

The collection of sea glass is, of course, the glass island that featured at Ms Scarlet's.

The Bottle of Greed is another one of Ms Scarlet's creations, featured here.

The universe cannot be photographed convincingly, so may I direct you to Ms Scarlet's Portrait of a Universe, instead.  A far more comprehensible and erudite interpretation.

I couldn't get a good photo of the Ferrero Rocher because it was so awesomely perfect that Camera could only manage to capture the golden glare from it's exquisite foil wrapper.

And as for the books:

The Days Are Just Packed, a Calvin and Hobbes collection by Bill Watterson, featured here.

Fucked-up Fondues, by that spiteful cow Delilah Smythe, featured here.

neue mobel 6, by Gerd Hatje, featured at Mago's, here.

The Visitors, by Sally Beauman, featured at Ms Scarlet's, here.

  1. Awwwwww...... you are a star, Mr Devine!!! I will endeavour to do something similar, once I have recovered from my daily bout of exercise - I am wind battered at the moment, which has given me a headache, and I feel that I should have a nap. I reckon you're beginning to understand how I get so little done!!

  2. I am genuinely in awe. You are spending your lock down constructively and all I'm doing is wanking.

  4. I feel I really need to "play catch-up" on this "Write Panic" thingy - how many chapters are you up to? Is at Tolstoy level yet? Or Proust? Jx

    1. We're almost at Enid Blyton - It shouldn't take you long to whiz through it ;)

  5. When I read "bottle of greed" I thought it was a typo and you meant Creed perfume, I often spray Aventus on my pillow, if I'm expecting a gentleman caller.

    1. I misread "A Write Panic" as "A Right Pain."

    2. Mitzi, I use Tweed by Lentheric as a general repellant.

      Very Mistress, it can be a right pain trying to...
      Sorry. Lost my train of thought: Cyberpoof is back!!!

    3. Well, I've moved you out of "Days of Coven Past" to "Blogorati" now, so you'd better hang around for a bit!

    4. Oooh! I'd better get typing and thinking up ideas. The inspiration is sparse though.

Tickle my fancy, why don't you?
