A pleasant Father's Day

Here in Aussie-land, today (Sunday) was Father's Day.

Had a nice day. Went to church, came home, planted potatoes with The Girl (who seemed a little non-plussed when the plants didn't immediately start sprouting). Did some ''around-the-yard'' stuff, including cutting a hole in the front fence to try out a new location for our front gate: we're still figuring out where exactly we want our driveway.

Also mowed the doggie yard: when the grass gets too long and starts tickling his butt, he's less willing to go outside to ''do his business'' in the dewy morning, and on rainy days.


Had takeaway pizza for dinner -- at my request -- with plently left over for lunch tomorrow.


The kids got me the Flight of the Conchords (Season 1) DVD, and The Lady got me two guitar effects pedals and a book on Ju-Jitsu. I'll watch an episode or two tonight, before going to bed. :)


Didn't touch my Dissertation today, 'cause -- you know: Father's Day.


Good stuff; great kids; good to be a Dad. :)
