If you’ve never listened to the artist Ron Pope, I suggest you look him up. He is a great singer and I particularly like his song ‘Good Day’. It sums up perfectly my day out yesterday. It was near perfect!
Team ‘Two Blondes’ were out training for Ten Tors and the day was excellent: the trainees were eager, enthusiastic, fun and generally great company, Little Miss Blonde came along, the sun shone, no-one got lost, a Welsh man sang beautifully (watch this space for more details), lots of calories were burnt, the Two Blondes had a mini business meeting, the new Jelly Babies packet was opened, the Young Leaders did a fantastic job. I could list more and more things that made this day great. It sounds like it was perfect, but it wasn’t quite. One Young Leader was missing, the Bearded Wanderer was missing and there was a minor first aid incident (although in the spirit of ‘Pollyanna’, this allowed me to see some amazing First Aider skills from the Young Leader). Despite these things it was a ‘good day to be alive’!
Two Blonde things (or Blonde Two things):
1. Can I steal that one?
2. We definitely need a 2015 minibus playlist.
3. Did you notice that mini-bus-iness meeting was held on the mini-bus?!? How appropriate!
1. NO, you most definitely can’t steal it. It’s already on my list!
2. I’ll do the playlist when I get a spare moment!!!
3. We’re good aren’t we?!
Well we are both definitely Blonde! I said “Two Blonde things” and listed three and you gave three answers.
Good to know nothing has changed!
I was in Blonde country last night – well, sort of. BBC3 is re-running the updated Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch and it was the turn of The Hound of the Baskervilles. The story was rubbish but the scenery fitted your continuing ecstasies. One of the characters said Dartmoor was bleak; I took this to mean there was a distinct lack of Aldi. I scanned the distances for signs of twin golden helmets but then restrained myself, saying neither of you would wish to appear on telly. I mean, how ostentatious. The pair of you are far too demure for that.
Dartmoor can be bleak: not least because of the lack of Aldi! One of my favourite places on the moors is Bleak House.
