Mooniac
Posted under People I love, Witterings
Mr Bertie, hotfooting it across Cromer beach and weaving through the pillars of the pier. Reminds me a bit of Don’t Look Now with that red top and the fleetingness of the composition. Shudder.
I love all the funny mispronunciations the boys have had in their vocabulary along the way and so wish I’d kept a list. My current favourite is ‘mooniac’ which is what Bertie calls someone who is acting a bit crazy. I’m assuming he means ‘maniac’ but mooniac is way cooler. “You mooniac!” he says. Hugely preferable to his other insult du jour, ‘poo poo head’, which is always followed by comedy guffaws and gales of laughter. Yes, very funny my boy…you mooniac. xx


Oh how I remember poo poo head from Millie. Loving mooniac though.
I’m totally stealing that….. “Mooniac”….. I like it.
I think that mooniac should enter the lexicon.
As for the Don’t Look Now reference, well, I don’t think it would have occured to me . . . but, yes.
Finished Nocturnes last night and thought of you. Will write properly and soon.
this is really a fantastic shot. I’m very impressed, you’re like some photography mooniac, aren’t you?

I let out a little sigh every time I look at one of your photos – I catch my breath – this is gorgeous.
I’d rather be a mooniac than a poo poo head
Yes I would
If I only could
I surely would
Yeah poo poo head is a common one here, mooniac is far cuter :)
BWAHAHA! I totally am appropriating that word and sharing it with my co-workers now! And poo-poo head MUST be a boy thing, beacuse my boy (of 35) still says that :)
