Title: Did you get a present for Father's Day?
Post by: JeffH on September 07, 2014, 03:27:28 PM
I received a 2014 six coin set with the coloured mob of roos dollar, a Peter Brock Commodore money box, assorted garden hand tools and a box of peanut brittle. Plus a question from America "has the card arrived yet?". (It hasn't but that is not unusual.)

Lets see, a packet of sugared almonds, (loverly), a Geelong Character coffee mug, jar of chocolate covered almonds, a Mr. Grumpy character mug, a Geelong AFL approved Humvee model car all in a blue bag.

Nice.

VL -number 10, 1987 winner for McLeod and Brock. 05 expired early and Brock took Crooke's seat in the spare car. [Sierras crossed line first but were disqualified.]

I also have an A9X moneybox.

I usually tell the kids not to bother with presents, but they know I love chocolate. So when I came home from work there was a pile of choc waiting on the table for me. Choc covered Turkish delight (my favourite), 600g of Toblerone and a huge box of assorted chocs. Should last a couple of days (and yes, I will be sharing).

I got a nice young policeman carrying an Intervention Order (ex trying to avoid repaying the 5 grand she borrowed).

Oh, and an email inviting me to a cuppa in the Erebus garage at Sandown on Friday. Pity it'll be pissing down... though it should make practice interesting.
