Today I decided to have a pub lunch, just for a change. So took myself off to one of those well known themed pubs in a nearby town. Not been there before, walked in, seemed nice enough and went up to the bar to be served... Now I am not sure whether to call this flattery or not but for the first time ever I was asked to prove my age and ID before the barperson would serve me. I was somewhat speechless by this request, but dug out the old and slightly worn passport and handed it over. The barperson opened it, looked at it, then went a lovely shade of beetroot, handed it back full of apologies...lol Had a lovely chicken tikka and cider..very nice lunch..sadly not on the house, but being mistaken for being under 18 when you are 40 is better than nothing I spose...the barperson was beetrrot colour til I left..poor thing...lol

Its quite a nice feeling when someone thinks you are younger than you really are... Usually people think I am older than I am..not so good then...lol Today might have had something to do with the fact I had redyed my hair blue/black and added a couple of bright red extensions too, perhaps...I try not to ever act or look my age..stay young for as long as possible....lol ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

I have come to the conclusion that this week is a rotten one really.. OK so I was mistaken for a teenager when I am actually 40, but last night I broke my hand, so is now plastered to the elbow and got to have it sorted properly on Monday morning.. So I won't apologise for spelling mistakes, cos I got a really good excuse... My hand hurts lol
