tiny magic

[kaberett]

I am sure I have asked you all about your tiny magics before, but I would be interested in hearing them again.

Mine is a tiny charity shop magic. A asked me, the other day, if given the magic I could keep my eye out for another pair of cheap work shoes and another pair of cheap driving shoes for him. So, of course, there were four plausible pairs of shoes, for a fiver each, in the first charity shop I visited.

Today's tiny charity shop magic was instead for myself: a black-blue-purple striped shirt, a peacock blue 80% cotton-20% acrylic (i.e. non-allergenic) V-neck pullover, and the second (& only the second) Mortal Engines book, having already acquired and read the first.

Alas, it is not a transitive magic. It also comes with the curse that I cannot make a recipe from the pen of Melissa Clark, who many people cite as an amazing recipe writer, and who I agree has excellent concepts, but whose recipes are invariably shitshows for me — I can use them as loose inspiration, but I have to make several drastic changes or the result is invariably terrible.
