Getting Old...
# 08 July 2003 22:50

Well, today I am no longer a teenager, having recieved birthday cards presents and cake for the 20th time.
I have to say this hasn't been the most brilliant of birthdays, it was only mediocre by any days standards, and it went a little something like this...

I was woken up at 11:45am having overslept, although with it being my birthday and all I should think I had the right to stay in bed... But we were going out to the local pub, The Brinton Arms, for lunch. We walked down there as soon as I was ready, and met my grandparents (from my mums side of the family). Altogether there was me, my mum, my sister Natalie, and my two grandparents. My dad was working, my other sister, Jennifer, was at school, and my other grandparents weren't invited because they smoke and we always eat in a non-smoking area.
The Brinton Arms was refurbished last year, and I have to say they have ruined it completly! it used to be like a traditional British pub, but now it's more like a restaurant inside - I know all the old regulars have moved to other pubs like The Stagborough Arms - But anyway aside from that, it is very nice and is well decorated with friendly staff. Unfortunatly though, it is still a Banks' pub, so I had to make do with Fosters lager as I can't stand the tasteless drainwater that is produced for Banks'.
So, we went in and ordered our food and everything. The meal was nice, it was also hot, and I can still feel the burn inside my mouth from that potato... I just had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. In case you don't know what Yorkshire pudding is, it isn't really a pudding, lol, look it up in Google or something. Anyway, that came with gravy, peas, carrot, boiled potatos and roast potatos. Hungry yet? For pudding I had Chocolate Fudge cake with ice-cream. That was so filling that I couldn't finish it, hehe. So we finished up and went back home.
My nan had brought some old photographs over so we were looking at some embarrassing pictures of me. Thankfully I wasn't the only one there was pictures of - nobody was spared from the wraith of the old photo album... I tell ya, my mum has had some weird hairstyles in the past, lol.

So after my grandparents went, I got bored and watched The Empire Strikes Back until some more people came round.
Umm... That's about it really... I'll I got so far is £90 and a Star Wars Episode II Monopoly game.
I knew there was a reason I treated myself to that Lego Star Destroyer.
