So, as some of you know, we're in the midst of upheaval here in the beachlass household, as we get ready to move in July. This morning, my round of details took me to the hardware store, to pick up paint chips for the new house. Painting inside would be nice, (I'm leaning towards yellow) and I'm definitely putting some stain or paint on the unfinished deck and verandah (blue? could I even go with a purple??)

So here is beachlass, standing in the paint section of the local hardware store, hand over her mouth, repressing hysterical laughter. Why? Oh.

Oh.
Oh.
Oh.

Because front and centre in their display of decorative paint techniques is one called Frottage. No. Really there is... I'm not making it up, or even hallucinating. I came home from the hardware store with a brochure that says things like "Frottage: Step by Step"

Remember when we thought it would be excellent to be the ones who came up with paint names???
Why didn't we think of naming paint chips by friction-based sex acts??
I like how helpful your hardware store is, with its step-by-step pamphlets...
Next they will have Wanking, Sounding and/or Felching techniques... Or perhaps they could partner with the lovely woman who wrote Hygeia, and figure out how to become pregnant through 'exultant friction'...

I would hope we would have known better than to name paint colours after sex acts. I was dumbfounded, thinking... frottage isn't exactly obscure... did no one flag this at a planning meeting or a proof read?

No kidding...
Ummm... so... what is involved in frottage (the painting technique), anyway?

There have been other painting techniques that have confused me... but that one really does win.

Rubbing paper on wet paint.

Did you see Nene's poem?
How are you feeling?

I am feeling so much better...
Give me a call whenever you can - there are things and things that need discussing ;)
