Father's Day

A very good day! I slept in till 9 AM, and was woken by my daughters jumping on my head. They presented me with a card and a copy of the Tintin comic, The Secret of the Unicorn. Whereupon I spent the next couple of hours playing with the girls.

Around lunchtime we decided, entirely out of the blue, to go to the Metro Toronto Zoo, and then Killman Zoo, and then the African Lion Safari.

So, naturally, we ended up with season passes to Marine Land in Niagara Falls.


As noted by velvetpage in a Twitter message during the Walrus feeding.

( Enter a cool blue world. And meet the Polka King. )

After that, we went for supper at Applebee's in Niagara Falls, and I had an enormous steak. Then a leisurely drive through St. Catherines, and home again.

Best Father's Day I've had, so far. Thank you velvetpage, and Elizabeth and Claire. I love you all very much.
