OK, the gas is off - have we got gas? - I'd better check.

Yes, we have and, yes, it's off.

Set video to record something. I say that because it always records something I don't want it to, so I've decided to leave it to fate.

Should I congratulate Fracas? Don't be silly, there's still time ............. eeeeeek.

Passports? - check..
Plastic? - check.
Tickets? ........ no tickets, I'm terribly modern. Well, I'm not, the TG internetted everything.
Keys? - check.
Underwear? - checked.
Teeth? - ha bloody ha.
Head case? - check.



Automatic feeder set for Gertrude? - check.
Did I write out that cheque ? - check.
Did I check the check list? - check.

"Have you seen my wooden leg?"

"I'm going ............ now"

'OK, darling ............ coming!'

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE!


(I wonder if there's any chance I could sneak off without him. Probably not. Anyway, my mother always taught me to be kind to dumb animals - I can't leave Gertrude to his tender mercies. Lo,TG Ed)

I'm off on my travels very soon now [well, Lo, she is a terrible Goddess is off on one, and I'm following].
The problem is that I'm so famous now, I am afraid of being recognised and mobbed. (There's a definite danger of the mobbing, certainly. Lo,TG Ed)
The brand new 3DScissorShop, which I must say I came to grips with really easily, has provided the solution.



I reckon I'll be able to blend in now and go completely unnoticed.
If I manage to get access to the interweavey thingy, I'll send the occasional postcard so that my avid reader won't be too disappointed. If you begin to feel lonely, make a Daddy Papersurfer head case of your own. Feel free to download my picture from somewhere on my blog, have a go at 3DScissorShop and post my picture on your own blog - it'll bring you a nice warm feeling, I promise you.


(Hmm, this reminds me, 70steen offered me a large packing case, must contact her. Lo,TG Ed).

I am going to use this opportunity to thank all the people who have been joining in over here. No clever links or silly graphics [ok - slightly silly] or flimflam - just a genuine thank you.



It's been a funny few years in my real world and doing this blog has been a real boon for me and the TG. If people hadn't joined in, it would have been a very depressing experience. As it is, it's been great fun and, I hope, it will continue in the same vein.
We are off on an extended break this coming week to warmer climes. I have no idea if I'll be able to sort out a regular connection to the internet. If I can, I'll post, but I definitely won't be able to come and annoy you on your own blogs as much, or possibly not even be able to respond to your comments [eeeek - I will not like that!].
I do have a plan for what to blog about while we are away - I don't know if I've got the guts though - we'll see.
The last definite post will be on Tuesday - please use the comment box to talk amongst yourselves if things don't go to plan.

[There are two winners of the competition - Linky Love and Kandy at RedNeckRamblings. If you really want a photograph email me at daddypapersurfer at btinternet.com with a postal address - jolly well done!]

As my avid readers will have realised my main muse, or amuse if you will, is Lo, the terrible Goddess..



Of late however, she has been a bit subdued. The customary amuses bouches for me to feed on, have been missing. My inspiration for this fantastic and riveting blog seems to have disappeared.
I mentioned this to the TG in the hope that she might do or say or glow something to swell my blogging fingers. I have been surreptitiously following her around the apartment, diving behind the sofa and lurking behind Gertrude to try and glean a moment of blogging clarity.
Nothing - absolute zilch - until ............

.

........ she wiped some bread crumbs off the bread board, glanced in my direction whilst I was behind the television trying to look like Bruce Forsyth on Strictly Come Dancing, and then popped the wooden platter behind the toaster. That was all I needed - my imagination fed for another day.

There's always something there - you just have to look for it..
Now. where did I put my glasses?

(I thought he was practising being a spook - his favourite programme's back [Tuesday's BBC 1, 9.00pm] and he's got over excited. Gertrude's really fed up with being lurked behind. Lo,TG Ed).

Sorry Nursey - better late than never.

Below is yesterday's post - with 3 subtle differences. Spot the 3 differences and leave your answer in the comment box. Make sure no one else can see. The most amusing of the correct replies will be awarded a prize beyond your wildest dreams - yes, a signed photograph of Daddy Papersurfer OR the real me!! - your choice. You will have to have voted for me as well - obviously. The terrible Goddess will be the judge. Good luck and may the farce be with you.
Closing time 8 pm GMT tomorrow - the winner will be announced on Sunday.

(Now don't get over excited everyone. Lo,TG Ed)




OK - one last effort against the might that is Fracas.



Something for everyone.

for the boys and Paula

for the girls and Mr Woppit

for the inbetweenies including Penfold

for the perverts and Chickenlicken

for everyone who has blogrolled me, voted for me and commented - particularly 70'steen, JohnC and Loopy Linky Love

Guess what I'd like you to do - remember I need a yacht and time is running out ....................... fast.
