......my father in me........

3rd day of Dad's visit...two more to go.

Today he wanted to go fishing....we arranged an 8.00 o'clock start.

I was up at 7.00, ready to go at 7.45.............he appeared at 9.45.

Quick breakfast and we got to the lake by 10.15.

All the best spots had gone on the big lake, so we had to go to the small lake.

Short pole, shallow rig, got him all settled............he caught 5 Crucian carp, 2 roach and lost something reasonably big..........by 12.30 he wanted to come home......tired.

Lunch and then he did a bit of pottering in the garden with the Boss. By 3.30 he was off for a sleep.

The Son and Heir, Young Helen and Charlotte turned up for a meal, now we're all just watching rubbish TV, Charlotte is asleep and Dad's eyes are drooping. The S & H and YH are hanging around until about 10.15 then driving into Manchester to pick up YH's sister from the train station.

What excitement will tomorrow bring? Not a clue....the Boss is at work, the weather doesn't look brilliant..............we'll just wait and see what the day brings.

Das vidanya moy padruga.
