Yes, A Moth and a Butterfly of the Same Name...
As the honorary Moth Man of this sublime blog, I must report that, lying in the bath last night, my eyes were drawn from the Nige torso (steady, ladies) by one of these beauties, which had settled on the panelling beside the bath and seemed to have lapsed into a contented trance. It was gone this morning though.

Judy wants to know how any eye could be drawn from the Nige torso. She's also flushing quite considerably but I think that's just the medication she's taking for her knee.
ReplyDelete(And I wish I were sublime, Nige. I've been told that I'm really a 'faux intellectual'.)
The curse of the blogger's life - still more the humorists/ironists among us - there will always be people who don't get it. And,of course, don't get that they don't get it...
ReplyDeleteMy best to Judy and her inflamed knee. Tell her 'Tu-whit-tu-wooh' from me - she'll know what you mean...
"It was gone this morning though... "
ReplyDelete...did you fall asleep in the bath, Nige?
You have a panelled bath? wow, beats our galvanized model.
ReplyDeleteDon't recommend it Malty - wood and water not a good mix. And no Selena I didn't fall asleep in the bath, tho heaven knows it's easily done, especially with Radio 4 on and after a B & S or two...
ReplyDeleteB & S? Oh brandy and soda, a tipple I have never got the hang of -brandy yes, soda yes - but brandy and soda, no. You want to try watching the Badminto in Beijing for nodding off purposes - like weightlifting but fractionally duller. And why Badminton anyway?
ReplyDeleteI once fell asleep in the bath. My buttocks inflated to terrible proportions and I stuck there for hours. And what's more: it was not funny.
ReplyDelete(As for the insults: I can take most of them but not about my prose... Not about my prose!)
Am I wrong to enjoy the badminton? It's all that bloody rowing that's painful to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe B & S was the preferred tipple of Bertie Wooster - and, I am reliably informed, it's what God drinks.
ReplyDeleteMein Gott ! can you still buy soda water? amazing. His nibs by the way drinks Lowenbrau Oktoberfest, I have it from a reliable source, the man who collects the empties. We used to live in a Victorian mansion in London, split into apartments, the bath was early bronze age, the gas heater late Elizabethan, the art of survival was to spend no more than 90 seconds in the bath.
ReplyDeleteI love baths, and staying in them until my fingertips look like prunes. However, should a moth or any other flying insect flutter in, I would probably be motivated to decamp. I like to be the ONLY living thing in the bathtub.
