Pirate Golf

A 30th birthday outing to our local pirate golf course with a couple of very good friends. Actually quite a fun evening out, would make a good second or third date place. It's eighteen holes with a well accessoried course, parrots, statues of pirates to pose next to, two little rafts to get to a couple of the holes. 




Couples rate on Saturday after 6pm only £9.99, normal pirate rate is £7.50.

30

I am 30 this year. A new decade, or the flirty thirties. I heard myself talking in cliches more and more and saying phrases like 'In my day....' or 'This isn't music, it's just noise.' Despite living like the nana inside all of us, I have a lot to look forward to, I start university again in September on a postgraduate teaching course, a whole new profession to join and living in Brighton once again.

Looking back at my 20's, I got my degree, lived in Alaska and Japan, travelled to a whole number of countries, made some wonderful friends, learnt to (among other things) run, snowboard, eat with chopsticks in my left hand and drink wine. Not bad.
