Well...I am always up for trying new things and yesterday I found myself on a golf course swinging some bats (clubs) and trying to play a game I don't/didn't understand.
It is a game all about consistency and accuracy - two things I am not particularly good with sport. I blame weak arms. It was fun and required a lot of concentration. I learnt that I need more power in my drives and less in my putting.
I think I could play again ... but maybe not very often.
We then deiced to visit the 19th hole for a spot of lunch, which ended up with us staying in pub(s) most of the afternoon and at Stu and Helen's. We watched Withnail and I, Wayne fell asleep but did amuse us by talking in his sleep.
An awesome unplanned Saturday.

London Adventure
We have just have two days London, learning about how to find a job in Canada, (if you are interested then you can read about it here http://get2canada.wordpress.com/our-ciip-experience/)
While not having our brains overloaded with very useful information, we found a pub that sold 2 drinks for £10 pounds. We are went to a very nice Thai restaurant and went to see The Women in Black. An awesome and dramatic ghost story with a few dramatic and scary moments which where made worse by a group of 14 year old girls who screamed at every little thing. The story was very good however the ending a little obvious.
The elder actor was Patrick Drury - and I spent a while trying to place where I had seen him before and it turns out he was in Father Ted.
He was the shop keeper John O'Leary, who always argued with his wife, a very different role from this one.

Pub quiz
Every Monday night we go to the Swan in the Rushes for the bar v lounge (that the best side)
pub quiz
There is a match each week, first to 10 wins then there is a break for a few weeks and then it starts all over again
Well any way last night the score was 9:9 so it was a critical match, the tension was high and the pub was packed, the questions were hard
the result....
the bar won by two questions :(
Never mind though because we area round up 4 to the lounge and 3 to the bar and we will bet them next time
Until then it is dinner party season :)
