Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and by very good luck my 70th birthday.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (that is, in English with a stereotypical West Country accent). It has since been adopted by the Pastafarianism movement.

Because of time zones etc I've been out bush walking with my friends from the City, then a lunch of lasagne and birthday cake, shared with five boisterous dogs. Heaven.
