Gun emplacements

Excellent comment from Medicine Man, worth copying here:

Forgot to mention a number of things:1. Has the marital bed yet to resemble a gun emplacement as Mrs CD uses up all cushions/sandbags in the house/shed in a vain attempt to get a good night's sleep?2. Shortly you will be in a position to use one of my favourite words in the English Language: "Swaddle" (my favourite being "crapulous"). Not only is it a great word, it's also a life saver. It basically involves wrapping up the mewling infant so as to prevent any movement whatsoever- think papoose. Said mewling infant will scare the bejusus out of itself every time it moves a limb- 'whoa, what the hell was that'- and not learn from the experience. Effective swaddling = posibility of sleep. Such a good word, and so little opportunity for using it- perhaps we could extend it's meaning to include getting legless-"got completley swaddled last night", or for canoodling-" fancy a quick swaddle". Ho hum
