An Adventurer's Mate

A blog of adventure, tales of daring, and all the thrills and spills of my life!

An Adventure stalls...

I've not written much lately but there's a good reason for this... nothing AT ALL has happened.

I've not been anywhere thrilling, and I haven't done anything thrilling, and I haven't met anyone thrilling.

I've been tending to the house and the gardens, but that's about all.

For his part, Deadfast has been mainly out of the way... I don't know where he's been getting to, lately, to be honest.
I'm sure he's up to no good but, as he seems happy and hasn't pestered me or the other staff here for days, I can only presume he's found someone else to pester.

Which worries me, but what can you do, eh?

This is supposed to be an "adventure" blog, but I've not been up to anything, hence the lack of writing.
I could make somethin g up if you like?

"Deadfast and I boarded a ship, and headed for the unknown..."

I won't do that, though, because I like to keep this as real and true-to-life as possible.
It's just that I've not done much.
I'm sure you don't want to know about how high the sunflowers are, or how much our water bill is for watering the lawns.

The only thing of note worth mentioning is that Chef got lost in the maze last week, and we haven't seen him since.

Sorry to be dull!

A movie viewed

I've just got in from the "Pride & Prejudice" premier in Leicester Square.

Keira Knightley, in her infinite stalking madness, sent me two tickets to the bloody thing.
Can you believe it!

So, Deadfast and I (come on, who else was I going to ask?) spent a thrilling evening hob-nobbing with the hoi polloi in London.
Until, mid-way through the movie, Deadfast broke wind loudly, stood up and declared that:
"That Elizabeth woman deserves a punch in the hooter!" and stormed out.

The half of the movie I saw seemed quite good (better than the BBC drama version, perhaps, even with no Colin Firth!), but I had to go after him so missed the rest.

Keira, for her part, ignored me completely.
But someone did keep throwing popcorn at me, so I can only guess that it was she.

The cow.
