My third Fathers Day of me being the father this year.
We spent it in a fairly relaxed way. Phoned my dad first thing then a bit of gardening in the morning, cut short by rain, so we then decided to continue to sort the mess that is the spare room, to inch us closer to the girls having a room each and kicking Melissa out of ours!

| What could be better than being woken up by these two trouble makers? |
We took a trip to Dunelm in the afternoon to buy blackout blinds and a few other bits before coming back where I was overcome with the urge to put up shelves. We have shelves in every place we can think of to increase our storage as much as possible. It's hard work though as the girls go a little mental every time I start the drill up and cling to their mum as if their lives depend on it! It doesn't make me very popular I'm sure.

| A great gift from my girls |
And after I've finished writing this I'm going to settle down with my father day gift and bookmark all the weird and wonderful fruit and veg I want to grow in the future. I think owning this book might be dangerous for me!
I hope everyone else had a good fathers day where ever they are.
Wow what a doll !!!! that is a fabulous photo of your daughters.
ReplyDeleteThey're so pretty I sometimes wonder if they're mine!
Deletewhat a lovely photo, one to cherish, I hope you get the girls rooms sorted soon, I still remember sleeping with a baby in the room and its nearly 30 years since that happened.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your book its a good one.
We're nearly there now all we need is one more big push! Melissa is such a light sleeper its no fun having her in our room.
DeleteThose are a couple cuties!
ReplyDeleteI made it home for Father's Day but they do not celebrate Father's day here on the same day as the rest of the civilised world...
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting back. Even though they might not celebrate it it there I bet alex is glad to have is dad back.
DeleteWhat a bundle of lovelies you have there!
ReplyDeleteThey are, most of the time. ..
DeleteI think on Fathers Day you are supposed to put your drill away and have a rest! But sounds like you had fun putting up the shelves. Gorgeous photo of your girls I have a similar one of my two girls at that age. My daughters are older now and they presented their dad with a large bottle of Malt - he was extremely pleased. Enjoy your book it looks interesting - I watched his TV series - some good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever enjoy putting up shelves but it always feels so good when they're up and you can use them. I think I prefer the book to the bottle of malt as I've never been a fan of spirits.
DeleteYour girls are beautiful, and what a lovely gift for you too :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are a pretty pair.
DeleteGorgeous girls...and very clever to buy Daddy such a great gift!

I had been hinting for quite some time that I wanted this book!
Deleteive heard this book is excellent. please tell us if it is good
ReplyDeleteWhat I've read so far has been excellent. Its nice to have a gardening book that looks at things completely differently.
