Everyone is an individual, but some are more individual than others.
Take Euan. He was saving up for a SUP board, but he bought a Didgeridoo instead. And indeed he brought his Didgeridoo on the SUP trip and we were treated (I think that is the right word) to a selection of parping melodies in the key of ‘C’ as an after-dinner treat.
But an absence of a SUP was not going to stop Euan from exploring the river. He found a spare tyre from what was probably a Morris Minor, donned a pair of flippers, and jumped in.
His progress was somewhat slow, but we would come upon him from time to time, a grinning torso, bobbing down the river. God knows what the locals thought as rubber boy drifted by.
And then there was Markus, who underlined his heterosexual credentials by bringing his charming wife with him on the trip, and then proceeded to dress up in a manner of a member of Village People.
He was promptly dubbed Captain America and was later seen hiding in a waterfall with Rubber Boy; not doubt asking whether “YMCA” could be played on the didgeridoo.
