Got up at 1/4 to 8 (slept in a bit), had breakfast, pulled down the tent and packed all the gear, then walked for 3 hours to where we left the car the day before. Drove home, had lunch, had a spa, then watched a silly kid's movie (Madagascar).
When the kids came back from their Aunty's, I got a box of plastic dominoes with a brown hanky wrapped around it (haven't had one of them since I was a kid) from my son (he picked it). Daughter gave me the DVD of Pulse (Pink Floyd concert). Went to Mums for tea. Watched part 2 of Touch of Frost. Went to bed."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

My youngest daughter gave me a BBQ set and thanked me for a life time of unconditional support, love and friendship and for being the best dad a girl could hope for
. My eldest daughter boycotted the day altogether and kept the grand children away.
Mixed bag I guess.:confused:Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.

Bit late but, got taken out for lunch and had to pay:confused: box of nose robes from daughters, they seem to mysteriously vanish over the course of the year, sleazed in with some camphor laurel that SWMBO doesn't know about and a couple of videos from SWMBO, Hancocks half hour, she thinks I like them but haven't had the heart to tell her I don't.

Actually it reminds me of the Tom Jones CD I bought for my wife a few years ago. We had a garage sale before we left Sydney and there was Tom in the $2 pile. I thought there must've been some mistake but no, she hates him and could never understand why I bought it for her

Fathers day.
With baby bluegum due in January I'm going to have a fair bit of time to put my order in. Plenty of time for plenty of hints
Dave,
hug the tree before you start the chainsaw.

Had an 'Uncle's day' today... while their Mum & Dad had a night out & a day at the races, we cleaned up the banana patch, hooned around on the tractor & then went to the shed to do some turning.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
The good thing about nieces & nephews is that they go home, eventually.

Nephews doing some turning.
The bowl is Sarsaparilla.
The Mallet is a Silky Oak handle & a Blue Gum head.
The Bowl is still very wet so is rough turned.
We will finish it next month.Cliff.
