Where was I – oh yes, to cut a long story short (yes I know it’s already a long story!), she has also booked us a couple of golf games in the vicinity of the country cottage as well, so it should be a good week and a great birthday present.
My sister has bought me a selection of English Beers, she said that I have seemed a bit low since we got back from TV and thought I needed cheering up with a few jars (English slang for a bottle of Corona).
My son has bought me a book by the famous golfer Ben Hogan, so now I am going to be studying it religiously for the next week or so, as my son, who is a good golfer, has challenged me to a game, at double or quits for his inheritance and this Ben Hogan book just might save me millions, well save me a few bob anyway (English slang for a few dollars) and with all the 'Bobs' I can count as friends in Gillyland, I am a very wealthy man by British standards.
Where was I – oh yes, to cut a long story short (yes I know it’s already a long story), my brother-in-law is taking us out for a meal and a drink tonight, but I think we have been away in TV for so long that he must have forgotten how much I can eat and drink! – I just hope he brings a lot of money with him, otherwise I can see us washing up dishes in the restaurant kitchen afterwards.
The grandchildren are coming to see us tonight before we go out, they have texted me Happy Birthday, don’t know what has happened to phone calls?, so I can let you know what they buy me in tomorrow’s post – that is if you want to know.
My wrist is aching with all this writing, so will have to close now before it ruins my golf game later today.
*Just for clarity and to avoid confusion, when we say 1 or 3 over par per game, we mean per hole – that is how it is described, isn’t it?
