Was Happy Here"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>What did you do whilst I was visiting Daddy<\/p>\n<p>I was happy Anna really happy even though I was missing you like mad<\/p>\n<p>Penelope was as quiet as normal even though she is so polite and nice<\/p>\n<p>I feel at times that she is a ghost rather like the Lady Ghost<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I decided to walk into Deal as the day was hot and I was beached out<\/p>\n<p>You ought to see my tan lines<\/p>\n<p>I fully intend to<\/p>\n<p>Tease<\/p>\n<p>What made you so happy Anna<\/p>\n<p>Buses<\/p>\n<p>Buses<\/p>\n<p>Yes buses<\/p>\n<p>I did not think that you liked buses<\/p>\n<p>I do as they bring back memories of my first flat<\/p>\n<p>It was right next to a bus stop and when the buses stopped<\/p>\n<p>The top deck could see straight into my lounge<\/p>\n<p>Was that not intrusive<\/p>\n<p>Not a bit<\/p>\n<p>What happened if you were naked<\/p>\n<p>Then the top deck would know that I was a natural blonde<\/p>\n<p>But it did not happen often except when the 07:16 stopped<\/p>\n<p>Why was that<\/p>\n<p>Because I was normally making coffee in the small kitchenette<\/p>\n<p>But you said the lounge was overlooked<\/p>\n<p>It was a lounge diner as before Daddy purchased the gallery I lived in Richmond<\/p>\n<p>The guys that travelled on the 07:16 mostly worked at the boatyard<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that my bum was a good start to their day<\/p>\n<p>Did you do it deliberately<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes<\/p>\n<p>Did you enjoy it<\/p>\n<p>Yes it turned me on when I was awake enough to remember it<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise it was me just being naked dappy<\/p>\n<p>Think of all the boats on the Thames<\/p>\n<p>I do<\/p>\n<p>Made with the thought of you in their tools<\/p>\n<p>Ha Ha<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what have buses to do with your walk into Deal as they are mostly single level buses around here<\/p>\n<p>Agreed but as I walked towards Walmer Green I suddenly saw around about a dozen vintage buses of all sizes<\/p>\n<p>Did the 07:16\u00a0 have an illustration of you rnaked bum on it<\/p>\n<p>No yours<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had not planned to stop but then I stared drifting around almost sleep walking between these buses<\/p>\n<p>Some were from London but others were from Kent and they were quite quite beautiful<\/p>\n<p>People were milling around them and there were a lot of excited children and adults<\/p>\n<p>I took some photographs on my phone and then this chap asked did I want a ride<\/p>\n<p>Is this the dirty bit Anna<\/p>\n<p>Behave yourself<\/p>\n<p>He asked if I would like a trip to Sandwich on the brown and creme bus<\/p>\n<p>I accepted at once<\/p>\n<p>He probably wanted to look up your skirt when you climbed the stairs<\/p>\n<p>Cynic<\/p>\n<p>Anyway I was wearing your shorts<\/p>\n<p>The lavender ones<\/p>\n<p>Yes<\/p>\n<p>I wondered where they were<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After a while the bus started its journey and we drove through Deal towards Sandwich and it was as we passed along the streets that I saw how pleased and happy people were to see a vintage bus<\/p>\n<p>I passed two weddings and on both occasions the bride and groom were leaving the church<\/p>\n<p>You could see it on their faces but everybody there just loved seeing this bus<\/p>\n<p>It was then as the bus passed the sunflower fields in Worth that I realised that I was happy super happy if you will<\/p>\n<p>As days go this was a super happy day<\/p>\n<p>Are you on something Anna<\/p>\n<p>I had overdosed on happiness<\/p>\n<p>Magic mushrooms<\/p>\n<p>I felt that I had really discovered Kent as we travelled like the pilgrims had all those years ago<\/p>\n<p>I was looking at things through Samuel Palmer&#8217;s eyes<\/p>\n<p>That shit that Outlaw takes<\/p>\n<p>I was in the past and the present at the same time and I realised that I was so happy here<\/p>\n<p>Had you not realised that before<\/p>\n<p>You have said that you are happy at The Green House many times<\/p>\n<p>Outlaw might be a piece of shit but he leaves us alone<\/p>\n<p>Penelope is a darling and Jasmine Tea is a good friend<\/p>\n<p>Penelope kills people Anna<\/p>\n<p>I know but she is so nice<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are many different kinds of happiness Anna<\/p>\n<p>My happiness with you here is a type of happiness<\/p>\n<p>My love for this area is a different type of happiness<\/p>\n<p>And the happiness when I was on this lovely bus was another<\/p>\n<p>What about the happiness of all those guys who built the boats<\/p>\n<p>That was another type of happiness my nakedness made them happy<\/p>\n<p>Lust more likely<\/p>\n<p>You have to remember that happiness is an abstract as you cannot see it<\/p>\n<p>One cannot go into a shop and buy it<\/p>\n<p>Many people think they are happy whereas they are content<\/p>\n<p>Is contentment not happiness Anna<\/p>\n<p>Not really as it is a feeling of comfort<\/p>\n<p>One can live in a really nice house with all the good things of life and think that one is happy when in fact one is comfortable and content<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you are happy without really knowing it<\/p>\n<p>A chap might think he is happy by buying a fast car but he is buying a car not the abstract<\/p>\n<p>In a year he will have bored of his toy and be looking elsewhere<\/p>\n<p>He is looking for an happiness that does not exist as I and I will repeat this happiness is an abstract and cannot be purchased<\/p>\n<p>Anna when did you leave Cambridge<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago<\/p>\n<p>Were you happy there<\/p>\n<p>To be truthful I do not think that I was totally happy<\/p>\n<p>I had girlfriends and boyfriends but I was a ship at sea looking for a port<\/p>\n<p>Am I your port<\/p>\n<p>Very much<\/p>\n<p>Do you think that this happiness will last<\/p>\n<p>That is hard to tell as it is shapeless like the sea<\/p>\n<p>I hope it does as I am super super happy with you<\/p>\n<p>Two supers against the one on the bus<\/p>\n<p>Yes<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What did you do in Sandwich<\/p>\n<p>I went to the railway station as it had been my intention to go to Broadstairs to catch a movie<\/p>\n<p>Which one<\/p>\n<p>Tove<\/p>\n<p>Did you like it<\/p>\n<p>Very much it was a rare movie<\/p>\n<p>Were you happy with it<\/p>\n<p>I cannot say that I was happy with it but I admired it a great deal<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you think that Outlaw is happy<\/p>\n<p>I hope not<\/p>\n<p>Why<\/p>\n<p>Because he is a shit at times<\/p>\n<p>Why do you think he is a shit<\/p>\n<p>Because he can spell it<\/p>\n<p>I think that Outlaw is very happy and will understand this fiction clearly<\/p>\n<p>But he is the type of person who can stare into the abyss at the same time<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that is why I do not think he is totally happy<\/p>\n<p>I disagree but i can see where you are coming from<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What did you do whilst I was visiting Daddy I was happy Anna really happy even though I was
