Happy Father's Day to all the Roff (Seage and Forrest) dads. I got a new pair of pyjamas and a Tex Perkins CD. Beat that! Tonight we're having a family outing to see the latest Harry Potter movie (yes, I know we're a bit behind the times) which I'm looking forward to.
In other breaking news, Julia and I are going back to Vietnam in January for another motorcycle adventure, this time along the mountainous Chinese border. It's the "take no prisioners" tour - about a dozen of us including - wait for it - speical guest rider Stuart! Although Marianne found the idea of riding along high-altitude cliff faces, sleeping in mud huts and living in constant fear of abduction by Chinese militants appealing, she has declined to join us. It will keep Julia busy - being a life coach for TWO Roffs - but I'm sure she'll rise to the occasion. Tour departs January 10 and officially finishes on January 17 but we should be able to find a few extra days for some R-and-R on Halong Bay. Only 125 more sleeps, Stu.

I got a squissle (a squeeze ball that you put a whistle in, so that you can share the refereeing duties with your class without fear of spreading the swine..), a Royals (my old rugby club) polo, and a Lisa Mitchell CD (maybe not as cool as Tex, but I like the little girl). Maisie's carers at day-care made a fathers day card with a picture of her mid sentence (she never stops talking). Great Fathers day.
Great shot by the way Ad(?). What a great daddy/daughter shot!
Wow, Grant you are behind. We've even seen Harry Potter here in NZ.
Sounds like and excellent trip ahead.
I gave dad a shirt (apparently) from his favourite store: Rivers.

ONE of my children gave me an excellent Tony Joe White CD AND Darrell Lea liquorice (98%fat free!). My other children gave me the pleasure of their company, a game of golf and a skipe from Taiwan. I am a lucky Dad!
How many sleeps? Sooo long to wait..
Below is the email I got back from Hanoi Guesthouse when I booked a (single) room for Stuart for our upcoming motorcycle adventure...
Dear Grant,
Many thanks for your email. It is so wonderful to hear from you. How are you? It is raining here but the weather become cooler than it used to.
We have kept a single room with the cost of 18dollars or 20 dollars /room/night for Mr Stuart already on these day. He could be very handsome with his beard. Is he married? ( i am sorry for my curious). Do we have a chance? Please, help us to send our greeting to Mr Stuart whose beard is shorter than Mr Grant.
We are very eager to see all of you.
Have good weekends!
Miss Hang.
Go Stu, you old dog!
In the immortal words of "The Newcastle Song"; -"Don't you ever let a chance go by, O Lord, don't you ever let a chance go by." And, I am NOT old!
Tood
I'm out on a limb here, but I think the answer to Miss Hang's two questions are, "yes" and "yes"...

Personally, I reckon Fathers day is the worst day of the year, a compulsory family day! No golf, tennis, beers with mates or anything that Dads actually like. Get this, I got as a present, a trampoline. I spent the whole day installing 9 billion springs only to find, I exceed the weight limit! My paddle pop stick box, paper tie, bookmark and drawings were pretty good though.
