Just got my Fathers' Day cards/gifts from my kids - bottle of single malt, a book, and True Blood 1st series DVD set.

<big grin>

What more could a man ask for? Sitting in the back garden, enjoying this unseasonably superb weather, browsing the t'interweb with a glass of wine. Now how great is that

I match your post and up the ante by the sound of my husband clanking pots and pans, and the delicious aromas from the food he is preparing drifting across the patio to where I am sat with a glass of wine as I potter around t'interweb.

Woot I got a Hertha BSC away shirt signed by Arne Friedrich for fathers day

Also a really nice football card made by my son at his pre-school class

Great day so far

I match both of you and raise you on the fact we've had a great BBQ, played in the pool with my boy, had a drink but not too much so Im at that stage where life is rosy and not yet got to the point about ranting about the worlds problems, Ive caught the sun and Im getting a nice natural tan AND my internet hasnt seemed to be playing up anymore

The birds are singing, the butterflies are out, cats asleep under a tree, rabbit is sprawled out with what looks like a smile, even my fish look happy, even better my missus seems to be in a good mood which is odd

possibly die to the fact Ive been doing a lot around the house today being off work. Now I have to put some pictures up in the kitchen but Im in that good a mood I just dont care!

Indeed! But before you go with the flow and merge them, let us enjoy this sunny day and share how good its been

**Maggy** · 20-06-2010, 19:32

You dont mess about

Quick move of threads there but with reason I suppose. My happy thought is alf and jo are happy

My next happy thought is.......a morbid one but think on this...we are all still alive,have family around and to top it off will wake up tomorrow. I dont intend to sound odd but thats the way it is. Makes me cringe when I curse myself having a bad day at work when I think what other people must go through with being terminally ill etc. Puts things in to perspective I think

I had a crap year once, mum and dad split up, grandparents died, I got heavily in to drink and the rest but somehow managed to keep a good job. Now Im as happy as can be and my little lad makes me smile everyday, the way I was he wouldnt have been born and my life would have been over, what a waste.

See you all tomorrow, with a bit of luck. Remember on your next shopping trip to tesco you could die like someone did in the morrisons near me, make the most of life, you only get one shot, sod the petty things I say

I went to a customers house not long ago, last time I went was 12 months ago. I was there fixing the boiler admiring his photoshop certificates in his office when she came in all upset saying how he had died in the night a month before, she woke up to find him dead. Awful. Worst thing is I remember the guy and he was really really nice, I was upset all day and that was only a few weeks ago, since then I laugh when people are moaning about ordinary stuff.

Sorry to be so glum in a happy thread but my point is, be happy!

That's the exact same one I've got in here it's really nice

I went out & bought one of these WD media players, today

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digi...dp_ob_title_ce

I'm really pleased with it - talk about work straight out of the box - playback of x264 files on my HDMI 1080p monitor with sound courtesy of the optical link to my Logitech Z5500 speakers was faultless.

- then, even better, it passed the 'significant other' test plugged into the downstairs HD TV, she found it really easy to use.

I can now provide files on an USB stick for her to watch, rather than messing about converting them to DVD.

At Altitude, 29th floor of the Millbank Tower, sipping a nice glass of red and watching the England game - work, work, work, work, work......
