They Should Have Bought Me Jocks For Fathers Day Like I Asked

I asked for undies for Fathers Day. Not very original but I could do with them. You don't really want me to be going around commando, do you? Then they came up with a lame excuse that they didn't know when the day was and hadn't gotten around to buying them. Another week went by and still no jocks.

Well, I had the last laugh. Today I bought myself a real Fathers Day present. It's the Taylormade Burner 9.5 degrees driver. Oh, and I bought a new buggy and bag.

Best. Fathers. Day. Ever. I can run around without undies for a while. Perhaps they should have bought what I asked for.

Fathers Day present 2010

Fathers' Day 2008

The Boy and I arose early enough on Fathers' Day. He'd made me a card and Miky had bought some chocolates. The only present I want is to go and play golf which I'll probably do in a couple of weeks.

We went to the markets for the fruit and veg and the Angry Almond shop to buy nuts, soy and rice cracker snacks along with some special chocolates for the day. I bought cherry ripes, choc honeycomb and clinkers. Yum. We did wait until we got home before eating them.

Then it was off to a new cafe, Rifolo's I think it is called, for brunch. Gee, the place was busy and we had to wait a few minutes for a table inside to become available. For brunch we had a Ficarra pizza and pancakes with maple syrup. The pizza was great (I don't know how they managed that with eggplant on it) but $15 for only two pancakes?! Not so impressive. Overall it wasn't bad. Following our meal we wandered around the streets of Victoria Park whilst the by rode his scooter.

Back home and it was time to watch the footy, Geelong vs St Kilda. I rang my old man to wish him a happy Fathers' Day. The footy wasn't that exciting so the washing was hung out and a bit of gardening done during it. The Boy and I mucked around wrestling over a miniature football in the lounge for a while.

Later that evening we had bulgogi, what else seeing as it was a Sunday, and then we watched a movie from my childhood, Storm Boy. Great family fare and a good way to finish off the weekend.

Quiet Fathers Day

It was a quiet Fathers Day this year. Mainly because everybody else in the house forgot that it was Fathers Day. Even though the boy had made me a card at school two days before he thought that it was the following weekend. He did make me some Bart Simpson toast for brekkie and the missus made me a cup of tea. Not all bad.

Read the paper a bit, did the fruit and veg shopping, cleaned the house, played soccer with the boy for an hour in the park (he has some skill especially when it comes to slotting goals from an angle) and that was about it. Miky wanted to get some special meat from Seoul Mart in the city. It was frozen very thinly sliced beef which takes seconds to cook in a fry pan. Lovely stuff. A very enjoyable meal. Then the boy and I watched the last of the Osaka World Athletics Championships. The women's high jump was exciting and there was a high quality field. Pity that the long-standing world record didn't go as it was under serious threat.
