fathers day

Here in New Zealand it was Fathers Day yesterday. Max was very nice and popped out at some stage to buy me a card and some chocolate covered almonds While we were out visiting my Dad the flower fairy came visiting and left these flowers in our lounge! The card says “Happy 1st Fathers Day” and as only one other person has a key to our flat I’d like to thank Larry for the thought and flowers I’m not a big fan of Fathers Day and won’t be raising Max to do anything on that day – Mothers Day yes, but not Fathers.

While at my Dad’s he and I had great fun going through some old photos he had uncovered.  They were mainly from his time in the British paratroopers in the early sixties.  He spent time in the Middle East (Aden, Bahrain etc) and was working under the UN flag.  Interesting stuff seeing your Dad as an 18 year old in one of the world elite fighting forces.
