You'd have thought that I'd not read any of the handy hints so kindly provided on http://www.blahonline.net/feature1.htm 'Idiots Guide to Starting a Blog.' So many good intentions. Miffy, your middle name is procrastination! I can't face the thought of having to catch up on nearly a fortnight's news, so, dear reader, you will never know what those tantalising allusions I made last time I blogged were about.
It's struck me just now what an appropriate expression 'blog' is. Reminiscent of those occcasions when one's generosity with the loo roll leads to those oh -so -embarrassing blockages. Spiritual blockage; so much potential there awaiting processing that it blocks the system... (Err... on second thoughts, that's maybe not the best analogy to use. I mean, we all know that when St Paul said '...I consider them to be so much rubbish', he was using a rather more...'colloqial' expression, but...)
Actually I do have a snippet to relate re nuns, even if it's rather more 'basic' and definitely less spiritual than my original intention. Readers on 'The Ship' have already heard of my amusing Advent experience. To wit, the totally tasteless but hilarious joke told me by two members of the church youth group on the way home one evening about The Pope and the Seven Dwarfs.* The Advent service preceeding had obviously had the effect of a plunger on a u-bend. I know, I know, as a stalwart of the coffee rota and an upstanding member of the pcc, I shouldn't be saying this but, it made my evening. Plus my estimation of the gentlemen concerned went up no end!
To continue on the lavatorial theme, if you're ever short of a party game, do the relay race when each team wraps up the leader in loo roll. We first tried it at Ms Miff's 9th birthday party. And nearly ten years later it went down a treat at this evening's Christmas party given by the 6th form for the Year Sevens. Daughter and friends adapted it by making the 'mummies' 'snowmen.' The embarrassment factor is tremendous. Humiliate your boss, house head, youth leader....Brilliant. Though I've not heard what they did with the left over paper.
More profound thoughts tomorrow.
* I refuse to repeat it here. It's far too rude, and besides, you probably all know it already. ;)
