Hello Dude


Flowerpotdays has just awarded me this award. Thank you so much. Very much appreciated.
I am quite used to being addressed as "dude". The North Coast of Cornwall is surfers's paradise. The surf can be awesome, I gather. One of my daughters is a surfer and on several occassions this summer I went shopping with her to buy such vital items like a leash, wax, socks, .... When I asked the charming young man who was obviously a confirmed surfer dude with long rastaferian hair and minimal footwear if I could pay by credit card, he replied "Yah! ... Cool, dude." He was reading Hemingway.
I pass the award on to the following 5 other awesome dudes:

Glad to hear it, ED! We were at Watergate Bay last Sunday which as you know is full of cool surfing dudes!

Thanks Eurodog, I like being a dude, although it puts me in mind of an ER doctor whose medblog I read. He works in a high trauma centre and when he asks his patient who beat him up or stabbed him, the answer is always "some dude". So it has become a catch phrase there. "Some dude" is always responsible for the bad stuff.
