By: Blonde Two
Today I will finally be doing something that I have been thinking about doing for a very long time. Despite my best attempts (camomile tea, swimming and Elgar) not to be nervous about it, I am. I have had this date in my diary since early summer; but the thought has been in my head for much longer than that.
I am not going to tell you what the something is until I decide whether or not I think it has gone well; but I will tell you what it will involve. I will spend part of the day on Dartmoor, I will listen to some passionate people talking about what they do, I will admire their vehicles, I will do some navigation, there will undoubtedly be mud, my kit will be checked, I will worry about where to go to the loo, I won’t walk as fast as everybody else, I will wish I had brought the other car, I will forget something important, I will say something really stupid and sound proper Blonde … see what I mean? Nerves taking over as I type.
Hopefully nerves will disappear when I arrive, and Calm-Competent-Blonde-Two will replace this pale shaky version. Boy oh boy, I really wish Blonde One was coming with me!
Good luck in whatever it is. Especially in this weather!!! X
I wish I was coming with you too, but I think I’d be most worried about my level of waterproof and windproofness!
In anxious moments bellow the hippopotamus song (Mud, mud, glorious mud.) Whatever it is, have fun.
There was plenty of mud …
Sounds like this IS your circus – just forget the monkeys and enjoy yourself! Love, Mum x
Well now it is done and I don’t have to be nervous any more, I have decided that I enjoyed myself!
