When you don't have the words ...

Mimi, gets depressing if you have to take off your socks to finish the count

Happy for you, lovely, and for Art. This is my happy face

RE: I GOT NOTHING

I never have a shortage of things to say

Shortage of people to say them to ...

When you don't have the words ...

Morning, Mimi!! only a few more sleeps ...

When you don't have the words ...

Not even remotely

If he had been, not sure it would have changed much about the exchange, though

RE: Anthropomorphism, Theism and Atheism

Socrates, no-one can possibly know until that final breath is drawn. Until then, in the poetic words of the King James version of the Christian bible, we see through a glass darkly.

If there's an afterlife there will be some red faces.

If there isn't, end of.

I personally believe that if there is a journey to be taken after death, how one has lived, and the harm one has done versus the good, will far outweigh which name, mental image, icon or set of values one ascribed to in life.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

I got caught good and proper myself with an April Fool joke, an ex-pat website here posted 12 new directives arising from Brexit which will come into force in March 2019. The first 10 were not only horrible but fed straight into my paranoia.

#11 was no wearing beachwear on the boulevards or in public, only on the beach -

#12 was that anyone showing signs of sunburn as they left the beach would be fined

The penny finally dropped ...

Ha bloody ha.

I'd nearly had a heart attack over some of the earlier ones

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Ash, nice choice of song

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Huit, I can pull the wool over any man's eyes

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Mic ya berk don't you play the innocent a few comments earlier you were trumpeting the date through a foghorn

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

B - Foolish people just sharing the fun - I loved the way everyone joined in the spirit of the thing

LJ - aw, nice things to say, thank you! I will be out until after noon, which is when the pranks traditionally end, so I'm quickly thanking people now for being so much fun, I truly never expected a troll-free blog but they all stayed away

Calliope - the more we all played with it, the more I thought hey, many a true word spoken in jest! I could really like this

1to1to1 - you are an extremely nice man, hugging you back

Bloody, you know me too well

Eks, I NEVER say buy the book - I just live in hope

Tatami, you're lovely and should blog more, I always enjoy your blogs!

Mic, I think you're trying to make a point about the date and can't think what it is? What's so relevant about April the first?

BC - aw, is THAT what Mic was saying?

Dashing out for the day now but huge group hug for everyone who joined in and made this such a fun blog So many of you were convinced it was for a book that maybe April, May, June and Lipra Loof should be given a formal life after all, or at the very least June and her ancient seaplane. And genuine thanks to the trolls for staying away

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

KN, I'm a night owl like you, I don't do mornings Kiddo is all yours

All this excitement plumb wore me out

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Heavens, half-past one already, this blog's been running an hour and a half

That's me to bed too. The future Mrs Lipra Loof needs all the beauty sleep she can get. Thanks for playing, guys

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

KN, that settles it. You're in the studio. It's completely separate and has its own staircase and patio, I'll get a childproof gate so he can't jaunt around until a civilized hour

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

KN, Ireland is top of my to-do list for holidays because I've never been there and I really intended to visit before I left the UK.

And remember this place has 5 bedrooms, if you are really, REALLY, stuck for a summer holiday at any point!

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Z, you KNOW that only happened once.

Usually she makes the passengers do it

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Non, since there's now a space on June's seaplane from Ireland, of course you can bring him if he can be strapped into a seatbelt. June's a feisty lady but I think ANY pilot would object to an alligator loose in a small plane.

Send me his diet sheet, and we can ask Mimi to take on feeding him. He may never want to go home again.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Thanks for playing, KN, always lovely to see you and one day soon in person, okay? Somehow. Make a plan!

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Itchy, my lovely, no-one's actually ticked me off yet?

Go write today's date down, right now, so you'll remember my happiness today. DO IT.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

KN, well, if you prefer Ryanair, so be it. But where's your spirit of adventure?

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Mimi, I think I'm going to have to rope in Art's support on this. It isn't just that you'll wear my lovely Loof out, it's the hours he'd spend flying to and fro.

Art, back me up on this. Put your foot down.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Oi Molly if TR forgets his flute that's okay. Not sure how a flautist would go down with May, she's planning to play the drums at the wedding. Wedding march scored for flute and drums, could it be arranged in time TR?

Talking of names, they ARE pressuring me to change my first name. But April, May and June are really the only suitable months as names. I suppose I could change to October but that implies space for more wives and I'm, as you know, on the possessive side.

Hmm.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Molly, like I said to KN, you could fly over in June's plane with her. It'll be the most exciting way to travel as well as the cheapest?

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

GJ why how can you suggest that, on this of all days?

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

KN, you and Molly could come across with June? She has an old seaplane, which I think seats 4, and she flies it herself. She's absolutely amazing for 73, you'll adore her.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Molly, I know. You said some harsh things about Lipra, but I forgive you. You'll understand when you meet him.

Luckily you're too young to interest him. Phew. Okay, and too tall. Double phew.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

TR, there are 3 lovely ladies in those places, and me in Spain, all on our own some of the time. You should visit. Tell us stories. Entertain us.

Actually while I settle into my new life I may need someone to talk to, especially if Harbal prefers bubblebathing elsewhere too often. Zman is already combing his beard, twirling his moustache and eyeing April (the wife in Greece) with interest.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Itchy, you guessed it, my daughter doesn't even know about April, May and June Loof and she's STILL disapproving!

She doesn't want to be a bridesmaid, either

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Mimi! we could be wives-in-law!

No chance, missy. You'd wear him out and that's MY job

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

Molly, I won't be writing any more. He's not that rich but he can support me and I only ever wrote to make money, you know that. Rolling in dosh was fun, of course, but now I have a higher calling - to be the best wife of the lot. It will keep me very busy if I do it properly.

Said yes, and I’m taking the plunge, squeeeee

String, if you can come to the wedding, you could be the DJ?
