yesterday was father's day. i expect most of you know that. i'm not much on these sorts of days. call me humbug but i think they're largely marketing companies "rub-hands-with-glee" days. another excuse to sell us shit we don't need.
you might recall my entry on father's day from kiev last year when i was peeved that paul worked 14 hours. and my promise to make it better this year. well it was better in that he didn't work and got to spend the whole day with percy but aside from that there was no extraneous effort or spending.
i'm quite happy to have mother's day, st valentine's day and my birthday ignored too. i'm pretty impartial on christmas too; being the aethiest i am. easter's just an excuse to eat chocolate for a whole long weekend. -see! the marketing worked on me. what other public holidays or 'special' days can i be ambivalent about? sorry, drawing a blank.
nevertheless we did enjoy sunday by taking percy to fairfield city farm. she very much liked patting and feeding the animals. she likes to rub her face against the soft hair of animals. she did this to a couple of baby goats, smiling a lot. i was impressed that she let a huge clydesdale horse eat from her little out-stretched hand. the horse's head alone was bigger than her!
was very nice to catch up with orion and daniel with baby zac and emma and david with jack and baby oliver too.
(sorry, no photos, forgot the camera.)
