Epiphany is time for my #linocut of Perchta, also known as Frau Perchta or Berchta (or Bertha in English), a figure from Alpine folklore, who visits during the 12 days of Christmas. Her name may come from “the bright one” or the German word for the feast of the Epiphany and her history is linked to white robbed goddesses like Holda who oversaw spinning and weaving or the goddess Frigg and 🧵

My linocut card of Perchta in pale blue on white agains a background of birch trees. She is illustrated like a playing card with two versions: right side up young and beautiful, with crown, fur coat and holding a flame in her hand and upside down a terrifying crone in a hood with a knife. Text at the top reads “Happy Holidays” and at the bottom “Perchta.”

My supposed true love has been arrested for people trafficking, animal abuse, and harassment. It's a really bad idea to send someone 184 birds in less than two weeks. And it's not legal to give people as gifts, let alone 180 of them.

If anyone knows good ways to clean bird poop out of stairs wells, carpets, balconies, and now it seams, a police car. Suggestions are welcome.

If you are going to give someone you love an excessive numbers of gifts. May I recommend books.

The building shook and the banshees of hell screamed, as 12 drummers drumming, advanced up the stairs to my apartment followed by 11 pipers piping, and 10 leaping lords. By that point the stairwell was full, leaving 9 dancing ladies outside in the cold, along with 8 maids in search of a dairy & 23 bloody birds. This was the point the neighbours finally decided enough is enough. The police have been called.

Yesterday I was woken by what I thought was the emergency alarm. But quickly realised it was something much much worse. How the bag pipes have not been banned by the Geneva convention will never cease to amaze me. The sound of 11 pipers piping in the stair well, along with 10 leaping lords, & 9 dancing ladies was something I did not want to wake to. Fortunately these 30 people meant the 23 birds and 8 maids in search of a dairy were still outside. FFS. Make this stop. Please.

That's it, it's all over between Agnes and John. #12DaysOfChristmas

5 January

You stinking, lousy, sod!

Twelve drummers drumming have teamed up with the pipers in making one hell of a bleeding din. Both lots are buggering about like nobody’s business and Christ knows what’s happened to the milkmaids, they’ve probably drowned in cow shit by now. The only way I’ve saved myself from getting screwed to death is by hiding up that sodding pear tree, which has been so well fertilised by now that it’s gone right through the roof.

I send you seasons greetings : BALLS
