The Father's Day weekend started on Friday morning at 7.30am with the annual Father's Day Breakfast at our school. This is one of our most popular school events with 400 breakfasts served before 9am. The Dads were served bacon and egg rolls, a muffin, a cup of strawberries and bottomless tea and coffee. They were also given the chance to win a night out at one of our best local restaurants. A great deal for $8.50 I think.
This was a very relaxing morning for me because this time I wasn't organising it. I simply had to turn up and serve coffee. Comparative bliss.
Happy Father's day to all but especially to Firegazer here in Sydney and Grandpa and Pop in Western Australia. We may have left our run too late to send cards to the Wild West (as usual) but we will be thinking of you as we join the crush to get a table this lunchtime at our local cook.your.own.steak watering hole.

Is this the time to question the placement of the apostrophe??? I'm sure a dead US President has something to say about it. :)
It wouldn't matter how many citations I offered - the debate would still rage on with more ferocity than Obama vs McCain.
But I will put my hand up and say that after much consideration I am in the Father's Day camp not the Fathers' Day camp.
I'm all for "Father's"
We're Daddyless today ... the footy won out.. and our present is still at kinda !!
Well, I go with fathers' because it is intended for more than one father. Just say day of fathers and negate its use altoghter!
The school breakfast is a fabulous idea.
Re the vegetable garden - thanks for the explanation. I'm a great watcher of gardening programmes and I've never seen that. Maybe it's something that suits your climate and not ours. I think it would go mouldy here with all the rain? It would certainly attract lots and lots of slugs! I don't even know what lucerne is (though will Google it).
Here, we wouldn't be allowed to have a Father's Day thing at school in case the fatherless ones felt left out. (And I too feel the apostrophe ought to be after the -s, but it's not, for some reason. Each father seems to be thought of individually.)
We do the June one. Happy Birthday to all the Dads down under!
I like Tracey's idea... Day of Fathers and Day of Mothers should make it a moot point.
Wow 400 brekkys' - ggggeeeeezzzz you definately lucked out with pouring the coffee!
