IT’S AN ILL WIND

It’s been an odd few days. The abscess wasn’t – it was just a gum infection. I also slept for 48 hours and my usually keen and incisive brain, full of wit, repartee and brilliant ideas ……. oh never mind.

Luckily I had the Open to watch on the telly, when I wasn’t dozing, and Lo, she is a terrible Goddess bought me this ……

…….. to help me relax.

We’re off to a wedding today. I love the bit when the vicar asks if there’s any ‘just impediment’. I always have the temptation to clear my throat very loudly. The other thing I must try not to do is ring the bride’s mobile phone as the vows are being taken just in case she’s got it tucked down her décolletage …… tee hee. (If you do that, Peabrain, an abscess will seem positively enjoyable… Lo,TG Ed)

    Congrats to the bride & groom. I hope you bought Lo,TG a new hat and yourself a new box.

    The TG will look lovely ….. I’ve been walking the minefield of “What do you you think of this outfit?” for weeks now …… it’s probably what made me ill ……

    gitwizard replied:

    Is that where if you say you think the outfit is lovely, but Lo doesn’t agree – you’re in the deep stuff. And if you say you think the outfit isn’t QUITE right – you’re in the deep stuff?

    daddyp replied:

    Whatever you say is wrong. If you can accept that and remember to wear shin pads everything works out fine …….

    Vuvuzela Hits.. hehe

    Have fun at the wedding. Try not to fall off any tables at the reception!

    Look, we need to be constantly reminded that we look good in something. Yet, we have this sneaky suspicion that you males would tell us we looked good dressed in a bin bag. So really I don’t know why we bother asking our men folk at all. Hope you have an enjoyable time and don’t make a spectacle of yourself.Love the matches today!

    daddyp replied:

    You do look good dressed in a bin bag!!!! ….. tee hee.

    I shall behave myself with decorum ……. I promise [OK, DP, you can uncross your fingers now]

    Tiptoeing along the abyss of no-win questions resulted in a gum infection? You should call the labs and get that particular condition named after you!

    Ooooo wedding celebrations, love them! But I hope you resist the temptation to give an impromptu toast.

    (So glad you’re feeling better, btw. Hugs!)

    daddyp replied:

    Hugs muchly appreciated ……. and the suggestion of taking some toast ……. nom nom nom

    you could always try to start some new, viral wedding tradition. maybe fish throwing?

    daddyp replied:

    What a good idea!!! I wish I’d seen this before we went – I would have taken a tin of sardines …..

    You could play the Vuvuzela recording at the wedding.

    daddyp replied:

    Another good idea!!! Dammit – I should have taken the lappytop and implemented the ideas as they came in ….

    I love weddings. I especially like asking what the likely return on investment I’m likely to get on the gift. And who gets it if there is a divorce. Interesting questions to throw in there, I believe!

    daddyp replied:

    Gift? …… gift? ……. the bride and groom were meant to give me a gift!!?!! …..

    I enjoy weddings. I’m just optimistic enough to believe that maybe this pair will make it. After all, I KNOW it is possible, it ain’t easy but it can be done.

    So glad you are better and nonabcessed.

    daddyp replied:

    Well I’ve managed to stop the TG from escaping for the last 43 years – if I can do it anyone can …… [the invention of super-glue has helped]

    Glad you are feeling better …. by now you will be strutting your funky stuff on the dance floor [quite a shocking image I have in my head now... you waving your jacket around your head impersonating be John Travolta....*shudder* ] ;)

    daddyp replied:

    You’ll be relieved to hear that we left just as the dancing started ….. actually, to be more accurate, I was frog marched out by the best man on the instructions of the bride and groom and the TG deigned to follow ….

    “Is there any just impediment” sounds like a blockade in the middle of the wedding aisle instead of the UK equivalent of “speak now or forever hold your peace.” Glad to hear the tooth is okay. Eat, drink, and be merry.

    daddyp replied:

    The bride timed a piercing glance over her shoulder at this point ….. it was very funny!

    Pass the bride’s mobile number to Aloe Vera and ask her to make the phone call. Just thinking aloud – - -

    daddyp replied:

    ANOTHER great idea!!! ….. too late now ….. I’ll try that at the next wedding we’re invited to …..

    “Is there any just impediment”

    So that’s what they say over on your side of the pond? Hmmm…. I presume then, that the vicar at your wedding must’ve forgotten that part? I can’t imagine a room full of folks who had nothing to report. Well, I’m sure there’s nary a soul with anything of the sort to say regarding LO, TG (I have it on good authority that all ladies bearing her name are the epitome of perfection) but as for the ‘other’ half… well…

    :chuckles and runs…:

    It’s always the groom that shuffles awkwardly at this point isn’t it ……

    Personally, I manage to avoid being an impediment ….. just …….. *looks around for some support*
