Father's Day

Doormat time, I can't believe I've got him a doormat, if you’re wondering why see my post about how it started. So, back to the doormat, I must admit it's the first time I've ever bought one as a present, but he is very chuffed with it. I made sure it says 'Welcome' as per his requirements, not that he was fussed, he was just happy I remembered what he wanted for Father's day, and to be honest it was such a strange request that there was no way I was going to forget it.

My sister got him a plaque to go on the shed door, saying 'Do Not Disturb, Old Duffer At Work', which he seemed slightly bemused by, but which caused Mum to nearly go into hysterical fits of laughter, as he still believes he's a young whippersnapper, but we let him live his dream.

I'm sure in retaliation to the sign, he's going to go out and buy a motorbike to prove he's still youthful, not that he'll be able to get on it, he can just about climb over the garden wall.

Easter Time

As usual I stuffed myself with chocolate this Easter and my parents invited my boyfriend and I over to theirs for dinner, my sister couldn't make it, as she has now decided to enter horse trials, I'm sure it's just a phase.

Anyway, Dad was telling me about his plans for the garden and he said if I wanted to get him anything for Fathers Day could I get him a doormat saying 'Welcome', I must admit I hadn't even thought about Father's day, as its a couple of months away, but a doormat. Apparently, he's decided to convert his shed into a little home office (I think its really to escape mum), so he wants a doormat to put outside it. I told him about where I got my wardrobes from and he could get his office stuff there, the next minute he was in his shed measuring up.

But back to Easter, dinner was a lovely piece of roast lamb and a nice walk down to the river afterwards; oh I forgot to mention Tilly was invited too, once again looking for mischief.
