SUNSHINE

daddy papersurfer — Fri, 09 May 2008 06:00:00 +0100

Apparently summer has started with the usual results.

Goddesses are wandering around with their wobbly bits abounding and abouncing.
This always coincides with a series of bizarre accidents if I go out for a stroll. I’ve walked into a lamp post, stumbled on more than one kerb and seem to be suffering from a crick in my neck.
Blessings are usually mixed I suppose – ho hum.

(Hmm, I could arrange for that crick to become more serious you know and definitely unmix my blessing. - if only I could be bothered. Lo,TG Ed)

GONE, AND NEVER CALLED ME MOTHER

I took Tango and Penfold to the airport last Tuesday and they are now back safe in Canada and Portugal.
During their stay I realised why Penfold always refers to Tango as Tango (grrr).

1 Queues for the shower room – Tango (grrr)
2 Siding with the terrible Goddess – Tango (grrr)
(Ms Tango is a person of discernment and intelligence. Lo,TG Ed)
3 Every time I took my teeth out when we sat down for a meal, someone thought it hilarious to hide them – Tango (grrr)
4 Sitting on Teddy ………. repeatedly – Tango (grrr)
5 Ignoring Gertrude and pretending he wasn’t there – Tango (grrr)
6 Asking the TG, “Why?” – Tango (grrr)
7 Taking advantage of my lickle boy – Tango (grrr)
8 Using a PC – Tango (grrr)

I think you will agree with me that I did extremely well to remain polite. Nightmare.

JUST IN CASE YOU'RE BORED

AN AMAZING DISCOVERY

daddy papersurfer — Tue, 06 May 2008 06:00:00 +0100

I spotted this in the local antique shop and was strangely drawn to it. It was reasonably priced so I thought that the terrible Goddess wouldn’t mind me spending some of my toothpaste allowance.
I knew that it was a Fracas Doll of course. Her celebrity status has provided a plethora of promotional merchandise and I counted myself lucky to have found an early example.
What astounded me was the label I discovered on her ~~bottom~~ base.

I had no idea she was a direct descendant of the infamous Ukranian leprechauns that were banned from their homeland after the Battle of the Skillets during the 15th century – she looks so much bigger on her blog.

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE OR HEAR IN BLOGWORLD – people fiddle with things.

COPING MECHANISMS

daddy papersurfer — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:00:00 +0100

Penfold and Tango are staying here at the moment. There is only one spare bedroom so they have had to share. I hope they don’t mind.

Apparently Tango can cope with almost anything with no outward signs of discomfort.

Penfold however, after a couple of days in the company of his father, goes down a different route.

If only he had some hair, he could pull it out instead – ho hum.

Do flick my thingy - thank you

DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS!

When we move, I’ll be able to have a shed again. This will mean I’ll be able to make some more sculptures if I want to.

“Punk Rocker Off His Rocker”

I enjoy making them but I never know quite what to do with them when they are finished. A few are nice to have around of course. Perhaps I’ll concentrate on making specific pieces for specific areas of the garden – that’ll keep me going for ages.

Others, that are just made for themselves, I’ll probably give away, or, like leftovers in the fridge, wait until they have a life of their own and then throw them away, or deliberately leave them somewhere where they are likely to get broken. I’m perverse like that – I have no idea why.

PARTY TIME

daddy papersurfer — Sat, 03 May 2008 06:00:00 +0100

I was a tad concerned when we went out to a party the other night. Lo, she is a terrible Goddess always steals the lime-light of course but I still worry that I look a bit odd with a cardboard box on my head, a wooden leg [inherited] and a pet llama.

Still, on this particularly occasion, there were no worries………

……I was completely ignored. I got into a bit of trouble with the TG for nibbling on some clothes and also for asking whether shag piles were treatable but, overall, a good time was had by all.

[This is a complete work of fiction. I never get invited anywhere ……… obviously]

SOME PEOPLE ARE A MYSTERY TO ME

daddy papersurfer — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:00:00 +0100

I wonder what I'm thinking about? Please let me know if you have any idea - thank you.

WHY?

daddy papersurfer — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:00:00 +0100

It takes all sorts I suppose and if we are not harming anyone else, I guess we can do what we like.

Personally I have to be very careful over the most simple of activities.

“Don’t plump the cushions – dust” (Hayfever, do try to remember. Lo,TG Ed)

“Do you have to breathe? – germs” (See advice in "I'm Nothing if not Cheap". Lo,TG Ed)

“Not in here – it stinks” (Not "it" peabrain, you. Lo,TG Ed)

“Not there! – there” (The story of my life. Lo,TG Ed)

“Not that one – yellow is better” (Yellow? Not in my lifetime. Lo,TG Ed)

“Put that book away – I don’t want a mess” (You are a mess all on your own Peabrain. Lo,TG Ed)

“And where have you put your change?” (Why do men stockpile change? Lo.TG Ed)

I’m beginning to get the hang of it – there’s a pattern there somewhere I’m sure.

END OF TERM REPORTS

daddy papersurfer — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:00:00 +0100

To celebrate [if that’s the right word] 2 blog birthdays please find their end of term reports below.

Olga, the travelling bra.

Olga is a bra that travels. She offers her support to almost anyone. In my day we had a name for that sort of bra.
She has done very well over the past year and I feel she deserves the same amount of support that she herself gives.
8/10 for being sooooo bodacious.

70’s Teen.

Where oh where do I start? The first word that springs to mind is ‘balls’ or more specifically ‘glitter balls’. Also ‘platform soles’, ‘hideous orange stripy clothes’ – actually the list is endless.
Her most famous attribute has been her ability to create a typo where you would have thought it almost impossible not to notice the mistake before posting. However, she has provided me with employment now for a year, so to that end her mark is ………… oh dear, my connection has gone down. Never mind, I’ll add her marks together next year.

This is my reward for you both doing so well.
