Well we went out to play golf yesterday as we said and true to form, I developed my expertise for Hooking and Slicing a little further, whilst Her Ladyship showed me a clean pair of heels.
We managed to finish with Her Ladyship scoring one over par!*, whilst I managed three over par*, so not too bad, although we both lost some balls again.
Her Ladyship lost 3, two in the water and one in the rough and I lost 4, two in the water and two in the rough.
When we say water, we don’t mean lakes, these were very cleverly hidden but steep sided streams, just over small hills, so that as you hit the ball over the hill, it had no option but to roll down it into the stream, which couldn’t be seen from the other side of the hill – crafty a what?
Don’t forget when we say rough in the UK, we mean rough, with very dense grass which offers almost no chance of finding a ball if one ends up in it!
Well today is my Birthday, I am 29, no kidding! Her ladyship has been 29 for years and no-one has questioned it, so now that I am the same age as her (I married an older woman and catch her up for 6 months each year) and over the UK Official Retirement Age, so I have decided that I am not going to get any older and stay where I am.
When I was 29, I was still young and foolish and Her Ladyship says I am still foolish, so if I turn the clock back, I am back to being young and foolish again – it feels great already.
Her Ladyship has bought me a holiday for my birthday, a week in a 400 year old Country Cottage in Cornwall, which is an English County (like a State in the US only smaller) in the South West of the UK and a popular holiday destination.
I was a little worried about how much she had spent on me, but she reassured me that she got it at a discount if we would do some renovation whilst we were there.
When I asked what renovation needed doing, she replied that they have asked if we can mend the roof when we are there as it leaks when it rains – a good job I found out before we went, because now I can take my roofing ladders and wall ladder, to save me falling off the roof as I repair it.
