The Two Blondes are well and truly back at work after their Christmas break. It isn’t really that much fun but we are optimistic as 2014 is going to hold lots of lovely expeditions, mostly to Dartmoor but we are being daring and venturing a bit further afield for some of them. This is very exciting, as you know, people from Devonshire can get a bit twitchy about going anywhere “up-country”.
I have been trying to think of ways of making the “back at work” thing a little bit more entertaining and have come up with something I am pretty pleased with. It is a challenge for Blonde One and requires a modicum of stealth and some walking kit. The idea is that Blondes One and Two both both try to wear some of their favourite walking kit to work but without the other one noticing. For example, if Blonde One managed to wear a pair of black muddy gaiters over her rather smart beige heels and I didn’t find her out, she would score a “kit smuggling” point over me. It would have to be a particularly busy day for me not to notice the gaiters but, with a bit of creativity, I think this game could be good fun.
So how about it Blonde One – are you up for the January Kit Smuggling Challenge?
This competition is going viral. Well into my workplace too…I like it! Are secret merino pants allowed?
Glow in the dark lipstick could be easily hidden at work!
I really must ask for some for my birthday – we Blondes could have no end of camp site fun with it and it would be great for our next challenge … ooops, haven’t told everyone about that yet 🙂
Ju L’s idea is pants!
She is very proud of her pants … believe me, they are lovely!
Brilliant, might not work for me as I work from home 🙂
Your guys rock 🙂
If you can manage to wear some outdoor kit without you noticing yourself then we will be very impressed indeed. You would maybe need a few pints of Dartmoor ale to help or to get dressed the night before. Maybe one could lead to the other … I think you should trial it for us. 🙂
Viral sounds like fun … who else can we persuade to play? Obviously secret pants are allowed but if clothing is not visible, it must be mentioned to the game partici(pants) at least five times during the day!
Not sure B1 has read this yet so I may get a day ahead of her …
Blonde Two I do wish you would stop issuing challenges … it’s bad enough when the DofE kids challenge me to things! You know I can’t resist a challenge!!! By the way, did you notice my waterproof trousers over my pinstripe smart ones, or my full balaclava covering my coiffed hair, or even my Sealskin socks inside of my black patent heels?!!
Good grief. All this talk about heels and yet you are both part of the education process which failed me so badly when I needed it most. Where were your betwitching heels when Mr Oates talked so distantly about valency and Beaky (can’t remember his real name) about Fletcher’s Trolley? Ladies, under your influence, (with or without this latest challenge) I coulda-bin-a-contender! Oh, I weep for this broken-down structure that I am, given the glorious trailing-clouds-of-glory figure I might have been – if only time-warps had been invented then. It’s obscene that the pair of you should be capable of generating adolescent fantasies in someone so old and so demonstrably past it.
I think everyone should have a teacher called “Beaky” in their past.
