$100 worth of Bunnings Gift Cards (my favourite shop), Toblerone bars and bags of Maltesers, 4 movie tickets to go see the Expandables 2 (looking forward to a good 2 hours of campbell soup ad entertainment level ). And of course a lovely Fathers Day card too.
Tardis T shirt
55mm TV Plossl (ironically from my own dad... can't complain)
3000 Microsoft pts for the Xbox
Probably the best I have scored for a father's day.
P.s. All this on top of a birthday a couple of days ago... where I scored big time with an 80mm Long Perng APO refractor. Best year of my life for receiving presents!! Makes up for the 5 years overseas where I didn't really get anything...
I got a huge "pongy" from my fur-kid (see avatar).
A pongy is when he climbs on your cheast and licks your eyes and nose.
Dog-breath assuredly, sharp and..well..pongy, but addictive and just the thing if you've got scratchy eyes!!
I got an RC helicopter. Crashed on maiden flight and need to visit the hobby shop tomorrow to replace the part The first 7 mins I had it flying were fun, though
A suitcase (no, not a hint) as I am off the NYC in a week. An egg and bacon sandwich for breakfast while imaging the Sun. A two hour trampoline stint with my 4 year old - I am falling asleep on the couch! Great day, Flinders understood it was all about me and did not change a thing!!!!
Both my daughters came over, on different nights, and cooked me a meal, which was great, as I have lost the use of my right hand at present, as it is in plaster, which is making life rather difficult.
My boys, well didn't hear from them either, but then, that isn't that surprising as, sadly, we are estranged. Mind you, they both live overseas anyway.
Now living in the USA which officially recognizes a different date for Father's Day and try and claim gifts on both dates. For Australian Father's Day I was treated to a nice lunch at the "Outback Steak House"...and a full meal time conversation about how the restaurant in no way shape or form was representative of Australia...it was a fun day!
