My own Fathers Day started well....
With 4 nice Bottles of Craft Ale and a card on the breakfast table...
But that was shortly followed by a completely rank & inedible breakfast of chewy and dry scrambled egg on toast! (Made by my darling wife.)
Then the news that my darling first (and current) wife was attending an "event" for her work that day (even though it was a Sunday), and that I would be looking after our 2 boys on my own all day...
AND that the eldest had a TaiKwonDo grading at midday... which would last 2-3 hours... AND was in a different town.... so I'd have to drive him there.... so no beer.... AND I'd have to find something to occupy my 6 year old for 3 hours while big brother was doing his grading...
Oh, and I was going to miss out on what I had PLANNED to do with my day, watching Andy Murray in the Final of the Queens Club Tennis tournament (which is his final warm-up before Wimbledon) too!
(I ended up taking my young'un to a Country Park and we did have a nice time there, and my eldest passed his grading and will now be getting his "Blue-Belt" so that's cool. WELL DONE HIM!)
My "Fathers" evening ended up with me having to organise dinner because my darling wife hadn't had the time to shop or cook... because she had volunteered to work that day....
There were certainly no "special" presents! LOL and I ended the day, sitting on my own drinking red wine and watching a movie after my darling wife decided to go to bed, having had such a hard day!! ROFL
Ach well, there ends another day in the life of a "Dad".
