I’m a big fan of Father’s Day. It is, in my opinion, a far superior day than Mother’s Day. It has a more agreeable present buying structure for one thing, and the breakfast in bed arrangements are vastly superior too.
Our newest Hadrian’s Walk Gold Sponsor, the incredibly generous dotcomgiftshop.com has a pretty impressive range of Fathers Day gifts. I’ve been perusing their store and by far my favorite one (did you hear that Kerry? “by far my favorite one”) is this rather spiffy looking hammock
It even has tassels on it. What could be more pleasant on a summers day than laying sprawled out in the garden, idly playing with your tassels. Life just doesn’t get much better than that.
Ever since I can remember I’ve always wanted a hammock (you hear that Kerry?). It’s my firm belief that every man worth his salt should probably own one. That, and a shed in which to potter (the dotcomgiftshop do a nice line of dad’s gifts for that sort of thing too). Now I come to think of it, it’s a disgrace I don’t own one already. Pah, and I thought my family loved me!
Another thing that caught my attention is this handy dandy keyring:
Is it me or would this be really good for giving a quick encouraging jab to people who are taking too long at the cashpoint machine? Or maybe letting the tyres down on cars taking up more than one space in the supermarket. It might even be useful for getting corks out of bottles or something too. The possibilities are almost endless.
So if you’re looking for a gift for Father’s Day, or even a Birthday or a Wedding you could do a lot worse than visiting dotcomgiftshop.com.

And in other news Kerry, the kids, and I are heading off to France tomorrow night in order to test out that Keycamp Holiday that’s the first prize in the raffle. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
I’m going to be without internet communications for a while, so you lot will have to manage for a week or so without me. Be strong, I know you can do it.

” A rather spiffy looking hammock” Now that’s a fathers day present!
But better still lounging in it in the garden on a day like today coupled with a few of cold bottles and a shinny new bottle opener!

If you get a hammock it will ALWAYS have children in it. Therefore, you need at least two (and make sure one of them is soundproofed and fitted with a fridge and HD TV). Have fun testing out my raffle prize ;-) !

I love the keyring, but I can just hear my step-mother: ‘didn’t I tell you not to give him any sharp objects?’ Alas, she has a point.
