Yes, Happy Fathers Day to all the fellow Dads!
Bit of a strange one for me. Now normally I don't subscribe to these kind of things (they're just a big marketing ploy right?), but I always make the effort when Mothers Day comes round. However, last night my wife decided that she was going out with friends. Not a bad thing on the face of it, however when you consider she has not been out and had more than a couple of glasses of wine for probably more than three years, it could be a recipe for disaster. And this was an early start, restaurant, comedy club, cocktail bar, proper night out. Low and behold, just after 12 o'clock I got a call from one of her friends saying it was probably a good idea if I picked her up. So, I had to drag our 2 year old out of bed, get in the car and go and fetch her. I sat in the car on the way back thinking that this really is what it will be like in 16 years when Jude is a teenager. No words were exchanged, just uncomfortable silence.
So today she has been in bed mostly, a bit worse for wear. We haven't been out for Sunday lunch (or anywhere for that matter), but I did get a card and a nice olive tree.
