It must be Father's Day again - I just increased my collection by two more ties.  I wouldn't care, but I never wear one nowadays (retired) except a black one for solemn occasions.  Anybody get anything today?

Good morning Colin,

>> Anybody get anything today? <<
Yes, I got a card, the very first ever from my 30 odd year old daughter......

[camallison]

Oh yes, I got two cards too.  My "kids" are 40 and 37 respectively and have systematically added to my tie collection over the years.  It has become something of a joke/ceremony, but they are always accompanied by another gift - Bassets Liquorice Allsorts - the biggest bags you ever did see.  Last me months as I go at them slowly.

Happy Father's Day to all the gentlemen on here   ......even if you don't qualify   .....      Thinking about it   ..... it's happy man's day every day isn't it   



(Scotty has been very remiss and forgot         but he has taken his  'papa' for a walk      )

I got a card from my daughter, and I think that's the first time ever too.

Should we write Father's day, or should we write Fathers' day.

I got 2..........one from Matthew in HongKong and one from my stepson(Chris) who lives in Lincoln.  

The card from Lincoln contained some 'medicine' money 

Matthews busy at present,they are having to move from their current apartment as the lady who owns it isn't renewing their lease,she has decided to sell due to the current boom in property prices.

They move tomorrow into another apartment which is a little further out,but a nicer area...Its on the 65th  floor of a 70 floor block.

I got a bottle of beer and a bottle cider, a card and taken on 4hr walk in the Peak District near Hartington, Beresford  Dale, Wolfcote Dale, Biggin Dale, the country side  around there is great, the weather was dull but dry and about 14C

I think I will try the Cider now.

From daughter (38), who lives close a card, bottle of strong beer, and 4% alcolholic ginger beer From son (40) a card. Did not expect anything from eldest daugher (42) as she is living temorarily in Kenya's Rift Valley.

As usual the cards were witty.

A bag of Edinburgh Rock and a card, plus most excellent dinner - Moroccan Lamb + Couscous followed by Raspberries in Meringue Nests + Cream.
Bust my 2000 cals/day allowance - but not by much!
Cheers,
Peter
