Peter took this picture on the morning of Sunday, the 7th of September 2014. This was Fathers Day in Australia. There were blue irises as well as a bottle of Peter’s favourite port-wine. The cake made with ground almonds was for the afternoon. Monika arrived in the afternoon with sons and daughters as well as two year old grandson Lucas. Monika brought gifts along for her Papa: A lovely bottle of wine, chocolates, scratchies and a card.
Son Martin rang from Melbourne at night-time. This call was diverted to our interim mobile phone that Telstra had sent us to use while our landline phone was out of order. This mobile phone had no ringing sound. Instead a computerised female voice always announced to us when we had a phone call.
Caroline and Matthew had been going away for a few days to attend the wedding of their friends. They are back now and we are going to see them on Sunday. They probably made a lot of pictures and are going to tell us a lot about their trip.
Peter thought he had a lovely Fathers Day last Sunday. We are looking forward to seeing Caroline and Matthew very soon.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that we have a proper phone connection again. A man from Telstra fixed it for us this morning. We are very happy about this for now we can go on the internet without any problems.
The blue lilies are just beautiful, Uta. And the cake looks delicious. I’m sure it was a very happy Father’s Day! 🙂
Indeed, Debra, Peter was very pleased with everything. 🙂
I had a great day, thank you. The picture on the wall is my maternal Grandfather who died in 1940. I remember him very fondly as a softly spoken gentleman.
I am glad you had a great day, Peter. I think it is fitting that your grandfather is in the picture too. And the cake reminds me of your mother who taught you everything about baking cakes and inspired you to bake lovely cakes. This cake you baked looks truly delicious! 🙂
Lovely picture, tells a tale. This could be a shot from “Through the Keyhole” – who lives here?
Thank you, Cat, for this lovely comment. 🙂
The blue flowers are Irishes. A lovely pointer to spring. Glad you had a nice father’s day. We did too.
Hi Gerard, you are of course right, the flowers are irises. Glad you had a nice father’s day too. 🙂
