Just in case….

Whilst Dirty D is recovering from surgery, Beaujolais has been continuously and strongly encouraged by Cortisone to develop a contingency plan. Beaujolais has of course resisted such action, as he has total faith in DD.  So Cortisone has taken matters into his own hands. Dragging the other D, Tenacious D, out onto the water in […]

Silent Witness

Well Dirty D seems to be going to extraordinary lengths to avoid paddling. Anyway as she is laid up, as it where, we wish her a speedy recovery as her health is very important to Beaujolais. So once again it is Beaujolais who picks up the training burden. It’s enough to drive a fellow to […]

It must now be over a month since the last paddle. There have been no further reports from Dirty D. There are concerns that she […]

Birds fight whilst Beaujolais plans.

So the Bird in the front of the boat has been getting into fights with other Birds- nothing new there. It actually is quite entertaining when viewed from the rear of boat. Anyway time to leave Dirty D and her Hand Bag at Linlithgow and move on to loftier subjects (although it is good to […]
