The Boat Race. "Terrible loss," you might say, if you're a supporter of the Oxford Blues. Even if you're like my sister and think you don't like sports, watch it. It'll certainly leave you with a grand game of "What If...?". Mega-aggressive Cox, Zoe De Toledo, was being cautioned constantly. As the wife of a Thames rower I've learned that this is a normal strategy for any cox-- the idea is to intimidate your opponents off the fastest water that you want for yourself.

I dressed in Oxford blue to show my support, finding solace in a field of lurid yellow rapeseed in the Oxfordshire countryside. I was pleased that an Oxonian noticed the matching of the polka dots and the dot-like quality of the pearls.
Were it not for the distraction of some Kinder chocolate and notice-me yellow blooms, the blues may have dominated.
What did you think of the Boat race?

Wow- I haven't had 9 exclamation marks on anything related to me since I wrote stories and notes when I was about 12 years old. Thank you for the kind compliments. Have a sweet Easter.
DeleteGoodness- I'm touched. I'm flattered by your gracious compliments. I probably write too much for most people's attention span so it's really pleasing to hear that you're interested in having a look. You obviously have excellent taste (in blogs too).
