Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to those in England and the US.  For those Dad's in NZ we'll get to you in September.  We have had a quiet day here, and I'm pretty sure Andrew had a good first Father's Day.  I mean he got beer, a golf club and is having his favourite food for dinner!  Let me tell you how it went.

I woke up around half seven and took Chicken downstairs to let Andrew have a sleep in.  We set up a treasure hunt for Andrew so he would have to work for his presents, (sneaky huh?)  He woke up around nine and we gave him his cards and a few small gifts, some snacks from NZ, and the first clue.  I think he really enjoyed the treasure hunt, and was pretty stoked to get some beers from NZ.  We really miss special NZ treats so this was a good opportunity to spoil him.  The other gift I found Andrew was a driver, a golf club that is.  

Andrew was a pretty serious golfer when we lived in NZ, he had a handicap of 5 or 6, which meant he played a lot!  I've been trying to convince him for a while to take it up again but as he has rightly pointed out, Golf don't come cheap!  Anyway, I was at a second hand shop last week and I found a driver in reasonable condition for £5.  I thought this was a good start, if he didn't like it, it was only £5, and if he did like it, well bargain!  We went to our local driving range to have a whack (not the technical term I'm sure).  It was loads of fun, and I even got in on the act (badly, v.badly I might add)

After that we came home and spent a lazy afternoon, relaxing on the couch and just chilling.  And now tonight,  after a yummy rack of lamb dinner we are sitting down to watch The Kings Speech.  Which means I better go, hope your day has been as enjoyable as ours!
