Happy (Belated) Father's Day!

Whoops, I should have updated this a few days ago to wish any dads out there a Happy Father's Day but better late than never! Hope lots of socks and jocks were given as gifts in true Father's Day tradition!

The last few days have flown and I'm going to try and not log on from home tonight so I can just have some "me time" to recover. Friday was the usual - come to work, leave early, drive to Adelaide and try and do as little as possible.

The Royal Adelaide Show is on at the moment so I went with Dad to that on Saturday. It was supposed to be a sort of present for him but he ended up spending money on me so that didn't exactly go to plan (but I'm not complaining). We got there at about 11:30am and did the whole pavilion thing which is actually pretty good with my dad because we love looking at the same things and get bored by the same things. In true Mel tradition I had to go to the dairy pavilion and try out lots of cheeses (and buy some) and then dad had to go elsewhere and try out assorted smallgoods. Then we both went on this Wine Tasting thing and both had to try and buy some wine, ofcourse. We went and checked out the Wool Fashion Parade which was more like a burlesque show (they're getting a bit risque with those parades), the Holden Precision Driving Team (which even though they do the same tricks every year, it was still pretty cool) and a bit of the woodchopping. We finished off the day by going to the Showbag Hall where I was reminded why I hate crowds and, well, masses of people in general, although it was kinda funny to hear the mums going crazy at their kids and wanting to get out of there! I don't know when we made it home but I was stuffed!

That night Ivan (bravely) had a game against me in Monopoly Tycoon for old time's sake, and I say bravely because it normally ends in me getting pissed off at him, but we actually had a good game, hehehe. Unfortunately he ended up winning on the last day which was annoying but it was my own fault, was fun anyway :)

With Father's Day actually falling on Sunday Ivan left before me to go and see his dad and I left a couple of hours later. We didn't do too much except have lunch together and then I came back to Berri.

Work is still slow because we are still offline after all this time, and at home nothing exciting has been happening besides reading and logging on. It's once again time for me to use one of my favourite lines from Bridget Jones' Diary, say it with me people... "What a gripping life you do lead"
