Thanks Lyn ... all the best to Al too.
My father's day gift was a
suspension upgrade for the Jack a few weeks ago, so I'm happy.
However since then, I also get two new watches (only wanted one, but the 2nd one was an absolute bargain because the jewellers we bought it at was closing down after 30 years in business). And brekkie in bed too, so I am spoilt.
I'll also be spending the day with my dad. His health isn't so great, and we really don't know how many father's days, xmas days, etc he has left. So have to make the most of it.

Savvas,
Sorry to hear your dad is not well. Enjoy him whilst you have him and don't waste a day.
I am so lucky at 42 to still have my Mum and Dad, both in good health. I cherish every day. My Old Man lost his father when he was just 24 and still hasn't got over it. My Sister in law lost her dad when she was 12. My wife's father is still alive but he is such a dog he does't have anything to do with her.
Life's a funny thing.
I spent today at a picnic with my parents, my brother and his wife and kids, and my wife and youngest son (the 19 year old was working to support his uni).
Such a simple, but wonderful day.
Cheers and the best to your dear old Dad.
