Pas De Bas

Photoshop Elements Water-coloured TCFeet performing the Pas deBas, (that's what he calls it, and he is famous all over Garvald for it).

Would have been my dads birthday today. A genius of intelligence but with a cringe-making punning aptitude, who also loved practical jokes. It was nothing to walk into a room and have a cushion land on your head which he had strategically placed above the door. My mother would go the whole length to the shops with pegs dangling from her clothes at the back. He laughed an awful lot at his own jokes, his shoulders would ride up and down and his whole body shake. That was Alfie Boy. "In my o-pinni-on, she's got her pinnie on". My three brothers soon became as quick witted as him, and so this was a great challenge to him, never liking being out-punned.
