Rambling on about perambulatory rambles
from Whisky, Words and Wine Hosted by gvfryer
The boys have been walking this week – albeit a thousand km apart. Jack for a cause, Graham just because……Both were rambles to remember not just for the spectacular coastal scenery but for the people they shared their walks with and who they met on the way. Drinking-wise Jack gets the Monkey off his Shoulder while Graham heads down Polish Hill River. Both have rekindled the Kindle and seem to be reading multiple books at once – never good for finishing anything. Graham has found a spy thriller worthy of a modern Le Carre, while Jack has sampled Four Weddings and an Encore, and has put aside his Mother Tongue (this being a Gaelic-free zone this week). Martin Clunes is enjoyably cast against type again, but the audience at Jack’s house turn on Rachel Weisz within seconds (whereas Mrs Bond had Graham at the mere suggestion of a gown-town whodunnit). And there was catching up to be done with favourite Sumo and music history podcasts. Pinball wizardry ensues.
