Dear Diary,

Today I discovered that I can't row and got glared at by a duck,

love,

Claire

The full story:

A few of us went to Newquay today and, on the way back, [livejournal.com profile] alyse, [livejournal.com profile] alyse's Nibble, [livejournal.com profile] seiyaharris and I stopped at the boating lake and hired a row boat.

Yeah.

Picture the scene: me and Becca rowing, Al behind us at the front and Nibble facing us at the back (and also the only one with a lifejacket, so if we went in, at least one of us would survive...)

Phrases of the day included:

Me: How come Steve Redgrave makes this look so easy?!

Nibble: We're all going to die!

Alyse: Mind the swan!
Becca: They can break a man's arm!

When we got stuck on the reeds:
Complete stranger watching from the bank: You're reminding me of Deliverance.
Me: Great, I always wanted to assrape Burt Reynolds...

Alyse: Claire needs to stroke harder! And now Becca! You both needs to stroke harder!

Me: I've got Swamp Thing on the end of my oar!

Becca: We're on a collision course with a duck!

And then after the row boat, we got pedalos. Ah, the full body workout ;D

Oh dear, I hope you were at least semi-mobile this morning!

Those slave-drivers, eh? Did one of the beat a drum?

My neck was stiff but I'm feeling alright! Tomorrow morning will be the real test lol

There was no drum beating, much "STROKE! STROKE!" lol
