I decided to amuse myself the other day by substituting the word ‘bowel’ for ‘boat’ as Lo, she is a terrible Goddess was describing the scene from the balcony down here in the South of Surfugal.
“Oh look at that little boat – it’s very pretty.”
I suppressed a smile.
“There are a lot of boats out there today – it’s lovely seeing them float around and people enjoying themselves.”
I tried very hard to keep a straight face.
“What is the matter with you today Peabrain? You look as though you’ve had a stroke.”
I managed to say I was fine.
Then the TG announced “ Any more boat movements and nobody will be able to move out there.”
I collapsed in a giggling heap.
She looked at me and asked whether I’d been drinking and then decided to ignore me.
I don’t blame her actually …….. tee hee.

Mmm, interesting idea, i’ll have to try that myself.
Do you just pick a word at random from the ‘DaddyP Little Book of Bodily Functions’? (I could do with a new copy)
I’m off to the library soon to research Ashford in Kent, I only mention this ‘cos last week I was doing the same for one of Lowry’s lesser known paintings (The Canal Bridge).
Ashford is a strange place occupied by very strange people ….. I know it reasonably well.
If substituting words, start simply …….bodily functions should only be used when experienced.
I will of course be quoting you in my article about Colon….Sorry! Sorry!….. Ashford.
Simply at first GW ….. simply ….. try colours for instance ….. beige would be good for Ashford …..

Do your artistic talents know no bounds? Maybe you could build one of those bowels out of matchsticks…
My artistic talents stretch as far as my socks are from my sandals …….
word substitution games! i have a new way to pass time in meetings. for “synergy” i shall replace it with “genital warts” – as in “we need to develop synergy through better teamwork”. for “paradigm shift” i shall replace it with “frontal lobotomy” – as in “it’s time for the leadership to undergo a paradigm shift”.
Anything to help you fill your days usefully ……..
I manage to learn something from you every day! I’d always thought that only a Gastroenterologist could think of a little ‘boat’ as ‘pretty’ but I see I was wrong.
Many thanks; I’m sure I’m the better person for all this knowledge.
Or perhaps I should’ve said, “I’m sure I’m ‘A’ better person for all this knowledge.”
I wouldn’t want the others to think I’ve got a swelled head or anything…
(though sometimes after a day at Papersurfer Ink, my head does feel rather stuffed….)
Your head is beautiful ….. no matter what size it is or what’s floating around in it …….
So when you substitute ‘bowel’ for ‘boat’, when you say you go sailing you really mean…..?
Just wondering whether I should steer clear of Salcombe in the future.
I must remember to tell you the story of when my brother-in-law used the heads on our yacht and then immediately decided to go for a swim when we were anchored in Porto Ferraio ….. oh, I just told you ……
Wish I had seen this this morning before I went into my full day meeting … I could have had loads of fun … mmmm but maybe not …I am not ready for the dole queue yet
You can think and just giggle quietly to yourself ……
Oh come on there is no way on earth I could giggle quietly … I would be corpsing then spitting my coffee out over the minutes
what an amazing likeness of Lowry
Anyone can draw as well as me if they stick at it …..
giggles….
hi dad!
I’m wondering what you’re saying in your head when you giggle now …… *waves at Twinny*
