a week ago ...

the four follies had prepared early for Father's Day whilst Mr Folly was away in China.  In fact so early that they forgot it was this last weekend until I reminded them on Saturday. There were then hastily made plans as to getting up early to prepare breakfast in bed, what to have for breakfast and trying to find the rather well hidden presents.

Sunday morning dawned and I couldn't hear any stirrings so after giving strict instructions to Mr Folly not to get out of bed, I decided to go and see what was happening. Three follies fast asleep and one downstairs watching tv having eaten her own breakfast.

Folly 3 gave me instructions to keep Mr Folly talking but after another half an hour there was still no-one about so Mr Folly started his day. He made his own breakfast and left the house for a dogwalk before anyone else stirred ... so present giving eventually occured late in the morning.

we seemed to have ended up with a Bear Grylls themed day and the family spent the afternoon watching dvd's of 'worst case scenarios' though thankfully without wearing the Bear Grylls baseball cap.
