As kids Father's day has always started with giving Dad half a piece of toast, half and egg and half a cup of coffee. He usually got the other half of everything on Mother's day! Then I moved away to Japan and Father's day got a bit confusing, what with it being on a different day in Japan and all. Last year, we didn't get to him in time and he had his schedule fully booked all day so this year to avoid any mishaps we collared him early and cooked him dinner.
Good thing too as I was asleep until 1pm today! I can't explain how good it feels to be able to lie in bed on a Sunday and just know that no one wants me, that there is nothing urgent lying in wait for me in my email and that I don't have to prepare anything for an early Monday class! So lie there I did!
When I did eventually get up, I sat around with the newspaper and a cup of tea, chatted with my neighbours, pottered in the garden did some laundry and eventually got around cooking!
Dad arrived, my sister and her family arrived and we had a relaxing meal and comfortable conversation.
