It’s Fathers Day here in Australia today ….. and I’m the king.
James made me a crown that says, “King for a day”.
The best thing today has been that I got neck squeezes from both Emily and James.
I also received a beautiful hand made card from Emily and one from James, along with a book and several kinds of chocolate.

While I’m on my working holiday (taking a break from the Bible Society but working on-air at Sonshine Fm) it seems that our daughter Emily is doing the same while overseas.
Emily is just 8 years old and she’s currently visiting England with Pauline’s mum. A couple of days ago she rang to tell us that she was in London and about to buy a coke from a drink machine. A nearby film crew asked her to by an Oasis instead so they could film her. She obliged, they filmed. They will send her a video of what they did and they handed her 25 pounds.
I’ve been thinking of hanging around drink machines myself to try to pick up a bit of extra cash but I don’t think I have Emily’s cuteness factor.

On Saturday night we ventured to South Perth to see The Sensitive New Age Cowpersons and Paul Kelly.
The show was part of the South Perth Fiesta.
If you’ve never heard of The Sensitive New Age Cowpersons you’re missing out. They play bluegrass music. Ordinarily that wouldn’t interest me, but when you take into account that they lpay songs by U2, AC/DC, Sherbert and heaps of others, as well as their own very funny songs, you get an absolutely hysterical show with some very clever musicianship.
As expected, Paul Kelly was brilliant too. I would have liked to have heard ‘Leaps and Bounds’ and a couple of others but you can’t fit in everything.
There were some wonderful fireworks to finish the concert. A great family night out.
