Happy Father's Day!

Spent the weekend packing the first boxes of books that for the next two years will be stored in my parents' attic.... I'll miss 'em...
Then went to my parents to celebrate Father's Day (and drop off the boxes with books). I know, it's a all a commercial ploy to get us to raid the local DIY store to find yet another-soon-to-be-underused powertool, but I like celebrating days like these. It's a way in which I can say thank you to my dad (and on Mother's day to my mum) and spoil him a bit. Especially since I won't be seeing much of my parents in the next two years, it was great spending the day with them. A shout out to two special dads today: my dad, who is the best dad in the world, and a newly minted dad from Nigeria (you know who you are) whose wife recently gave birth to a lovely baby boy.
