Happy Birthday Dad

My dads bought himself a birthday treat- a new car *vbg .. he so deserves it and it just wasn't worth spending the £400 necessary on the heap he had before, just to get it thro its MOT and then to still not be sure whether it'll get him to work each morning.. so he decided that he'd get himself something to tie him over until the house sells and they move to Greece but as they won't be taking the car with them so they aren't planning on keeping it too long ..it's lovely.. only an 'S' reg Rover but the heap was 17 years old so this is new to my dad =) .. he doesn't get much and is so appreciative of everything so it was lovely to see his face light up when we got him the obligatory bottle of his favourite greek wine and some pyjamas and boxers (he's a brief man normally but we're dragging him into the 00s kicking and screaming *L) ...we spent the afternoon sat in the garden under the gazebo (which is a St George flag *blushes* and he is planning to take that abroad *LOL...typical Brit) ..anyhoo- the bar-b-cue was going and we had a delicious lunch of salad, bar-b-cued sweetcorn, lamb and pork ribs, cumberland herb sausages and homemade burgers ...umm-yumm =)) ...Nina was great all day altho Lauren was hard work as she stayed overnight at a friends and obviously didn't get the best nights sleep altho she'd never have admitted that! ..we've not been back too long and now i need to kip too ...my first early night in ages =)
