Lapse...

My first lapse! I didn't post a blog, since Monday. Is this the wedges thin end? I say, no! However I should make this a slightly larger post to cover my sins of inaction. Let's see. Joni's done some funny things Today and Yesterday: I had the weighing scales on the floor in the bedroom, something to do with E-bay for Bex, and we were sitting in the living room when in came Joni with the plastic tray from the scales - saying "wee-wee"! You can guess what was in the tray....and Yesterday, Joni got a bath, and I (as usual) was the big bad daddy who had the right and power to squirt her to death with one of her toys (it's a plastic thing with a hole in, great for squirting!): but she worked out how to do it, and I joke not, she drenched me and Becky, we both had to change our clothes, so let the reader use discernment: show ye no mercy and to thee no mercy will be shown! And the strange end to yesterday came when I was checking out a build up of ice underneath our new (second-hand, from Jan and Laurie) fridge-freezer. I somehow managed to rip my jeans, right under my knee-cap. That's odd, I thought. Then a few minutes later I noticed my leg felt all wet. That's odd, I thought. Then I looked down and saw a wet patch from my knee to the bottom of my jeans. That's...bloody hell...rolling my jeans up to see a leg that you don't normally see outside of a casualty ward! When it eventually stopped bleeding, I managed to find the shard of glass on the kitchen floor responsible for my pain. It sort of made it worth it to be nursed by Becky, I'm not a very brave boy when it comes to these sorts of things... ;-) and that's pretty much it, no great observations for these past few days - except I believe (this isn't out of the blue but I won't elaborate) the artists hope for fame is like the devouts hope for glory-who knows what chance each has of attaining it, and how? And if no hope or glory is to be had, which is the case (for instance) for all artists (so much so that the exceptions are negligible) : better no hope than a false hope.
