FATHER'S DAY

[Templar]

WELL ANOTHER WEEK SLIPS BY US....WE HAVE PASSED THE IDES OF JUNE AND ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG.............IN AMERICA THIS SUNDAY, WE CELEBRATE "FATHER'S DAY".....
IS IT CELEBRATED IN ANY OTHER COUNTRIES?.........WHAT DAY?.......ANYTHING SPECIAL?
 IN THE U.S. IT GENERALLY BREAKS DOWN TO GETTING BREAKFAST IN BED IN SPITE OF WHAT YOU WOULD REALLY WANT IN BED............NOT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND VISIT A FATHER.....AND THEN MANY HAVE THE TRADITION OF FATHER COOKING ON THE BBQ
 THE ABILITY TO BURN THE OUTSIDE OF A BEAUTIFUL STEAK WHILE LEAVING THE INSIDE COLD AND RAW IS QUITE A TECHNIQUE...........ALL FOR THE LOVE OF FATHER.......REMEMBER THAT LITTLE SAYING FROM AN OLD SONG...YOUR MOTHER WOULDN'T BE YOUR MOTHER WITHOUT YOUR FATHER
SO HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THOSE WHO ARE FATHER'S AND HERE'S TO THOSE FATHER'S WHOM GOD HAS ALREADY TAKEN HOME.........

YOUR FRIEND AND SERVANT.........FATHER TEMPLAR

In Belgium it was the 23rd of may
Stores do not let a single opportunity go by to sell something
Normally fathers here get things they do not want like a drill or an automatic screwdriver or a workbench or a bunch of flowers ( you get the drift ? )

Fathers' Day in Aus is on the 1st Sunday in September.
I hate the commercialism, and my kids are under instructions not to buy anything.
