Dad's day 2010

I already said this in an email to TJ but I thought I'd post it here too.

We had a lovely couple of days at the coast. I'm sure you all know that it was Dad's anniversary on the 18th.

I'll tell you a story about spookiness. I was playing on one of the fruit slot machines, just a two pence a time one as I'm not one of the big spending gamblers hahah!, and I was thinking of Dad and said in my head "Dad if you are here, let the jackpot come up and I'll know and I can tell mum you are here with us". Well, the jackpot was only a fiver and I didn't really expect anything to happen and when my pennies ran out I thought, ah well, there you go. Then I was walking through the arcade when I spotted a two pence on the floor. I picked it up, turned around and behind me was one of the machines I like to play. I put my one and only two pence into the machine and would you believe that the jackpot came straight up. Is that a sign? Who knows. I'd like to think so.

Congrats!

Congrats to Spain on winning their first world cup.

But an even bigger congrats to Paul the octopus for predicting right again.

Who'd have thunk it eh?

Going home soon!

Two weeks and counting. Can't wait to go home.

It'll be Dad's day on the 18th and we'll be at the coast doing our remembrance day where we scattered some of his ashes in the harbour. I can't believe it's been 8 years already. Still feels like yesterday.

Miss you and love you so much Dad.
