One of my favourite artists is Leonardo da Vinci – I always have difficulty in answering “What is your favourite …?” type questions BTW. What is your favourite colour? ….. it depends. What is your favourite film? …… it depends. What is your favourite number? …….. it depends……….
…….. anyway one of my favourite artists is Leonardo, mainly because he was interested in everything. It’s almost coincidental that he happened to be a great draughtsman – it’s the enquiring mind that is so fascinating. How does the body work? Is it possible to build a flying machine? What’s the best way of storming a castle? Why does everyone look so different?
If he was alive today he would be enthralled with the interweave. It’s a world in creation and anything is possible. I strongly suspect that he would have become an internet star in no time at all, and led us to places that stretched our minds to their limits ……. and probably beyond……..
Mind you, if he had kept to his habit of writing backwards, computers would have had to be built upside down….

Odd…the reproduction the Colonel and I over the bed seems to have a slightly different face….must be a cheap knock off!
Damn Chinese…..
edit: “…and I have over the bed…”
I was very pleased to be able to find a copy of the original in all it’s glory …….. perhaps I should sell copies of the copy ….. I’m sure Leonardo wouldn’t mind …….
Agreed – you were a bit early on the button this around, eh? Or perhaps the clocks at the Rev. compound are speeding up, all at the same rate…
By the way, you’ve maintained quite the physical stature in your….mature age, good sir-
Tea?
I am as perfect as I ever was ……. in a way …. sorry, onto the hard stuff already ….. *hic*
Jealousy prevails.
The booze or the figure …….. or both?
DP… you should know what a title like that will bring your way. Have you no shame?
{{Geez 70s… you try and mentor someone and look what happens.}}
With a figure like mine? …… of course I have no shame young Fraccy – perhaps I should organise a movement called ‘Bloggers Pride’ and we can let it all hang out ……..
I would’ve replied to this sooner, but I was busy online shopping for some good quality sunglasses… or even a pirate’s patch (one for each eye)…
I feel fully prepared now; carry on and do let it all hang out.
A microscope might come in handy as well ……..
why if he wrote backwards would computers have to be built upside down?? Surely they would have to be built ‘backwards’!!!
{{ dear Frac … some folk are just unmentorable…. tea & biscuits hun? }}
oh p.s. bloody hell you are old……
Not really – I think the model was my father ……..
I worked that out as well – but couldn’t be bothered to re-write it – tee hee
I knew Leo rang a bell (not the fact he is way famous)

Think I may pop along next week
….. and there’s another drawing of an ancestor …..
spookily such a canny resemblance
That *is* quite something! I should think a family photo of the whole clan might be, umm… rather incredible…
{{I only hope the nightmares will go away…}}
Quite a few don’t show up in photos which is a tad worrying ……
Excellent point sis. Lovely biscuits, and the tea is quite welcome; my throat is on the sore side today. Darn that winter… I’ve tried to break up with him but he just won’t get the message.
Hi Daddypapersurfer,
I like the way you try to teach the young’ns, (”my keyboard won’t let me)’ does now, what the f**k WINDOWS?. Don’t it really piss you off, when the young’ns can’t spell? SOMETHINK ???
Well hello ‘Gitwizard’ – thank heavens the **** seem to work though …… such a relief for a sensitive soul ….
sorry bout all those expletives DP, sorry Lo TG too, love all your posts.
don’t know what happened to that last comment, but we luvya DP.
I can see the last comment …… I think – tee hee
I wonder how many followers he would have on Twitter?…did I mention I don’t like it when you write up side down?
Yes – I do believe you have mentioned it before Sylvie ………. *looks defiant* ……
……… sorry, I’ll try not to do it again …… *gulp*
OMG! That’s what you look like without your BOX?!?!?
It’s an ancestor – the Papersurfers have developed a lot since then ……….
I shoulda said that in this box, huh?
Well go on then …. I’ll wait ….
Yes…I see there are extra appendages that you don’t have now.
Much better [I must be getting all OCD tee hee] …. so, yes, a lot of things have fallen off in the interim …..
Yes…I see there are extra appendages that you don’t have now.
[I don't like this comment here - it shouldn't be here - make it go AWAY!!!!!]
I began reading you interesting and erudite post. The first fact to leap to my attention was that you seem use a lot of Depends.
YOUR interesting and erudite post !!!! Grrr –
Memo to self – do not post post before drinking the first coffee of the morning.
Well …….. it depends …….. obviously. Instant or fresh BTW? ……..
It’s a good thing things aren’t written backwards because I am not a backwards type girl, or am I… That’s a question I will now have to investigate, gee thanks! Now I have to go look for the answer….. I knew I kept you on my blog roll for some reason, you keep my sugar count down-how you may ask? Well, you keep me moving of course… I have to now get up and go look for the answer henceforth, I have to move….. Thanks DP, I do indeed lub you…. or do I? Why, of course I do…. Another thing I will search the answer out for is why I ramble on and on and ………………………………………………………………………. on.
I can see I will have a perfect 0 on my sugar meter today…. WAIT! that’s not good! I am the sugar of sugar after all…..
lub <3…. Sugar :0)
Blimey I’m exhausted on your behalf Sugar …… still, I’m very pleased I could help of course – tee hee – great comment!
