I wonder who thought of the boat's name. "Two Scoops". Wonder who likes Ice cream?

hmmm now then that is a nice thought feeding James Ice cream. Can't imagine him liking anything odd. Bet he likes Vanilla or Mint Choc Chip?

Also means no Glastonbury for James this year (27, 28, 29 June)... Richard will have his pop-up tent to himself this year! Does James usually attend the Glastonbury festival? I didn't know he was a rock music fan [fingers crossed I hope he is]. He has said he listens to Bach mostly, and occasionally Oscar Peterson. |

He has some surprising musical tastes - I read one of those "tell us something people wouldn't expect about you" type things somewhere where he said he occasionally enjoys ambient music and has a CD by Orbital. And apparently he listens to AC/DC, but only in the car!

Dear lord, he wears the blue flowery shirt in his off-time as well! Look at the tension in his left hand, wonder what that was about.
It's lovely he likes at least some rock music though.

They seemed ok in Essex on Monday. I expect egos more than anything were bruised, and an awful lot of shouting and swearing |
