My 32 year old son did the City to Surf 12kay run this morning raising about $600 for people with disabilities, despite not feeling well and throwing up his breakfast.
Picked him up at the finish line. Funny how they still do things that make you proud.

Cleaned and polished half a Westfield car park column off the nearside doors of my dearest’s car. They’re still bruised but the “You’re on Level 2” magenta paint is all buffed away.

I know where he gets it from, but my son thinks he can procrastinate better then me. He has a ways to go to beat me in the art of making excuses as to why not to do things.
Anyhows we spent the day together. Even though i said he should put together his tank stand 1st then come chill. So after a lot of 'this brand of fish needs this many litres of water, so i can get this many' talk. I said wont you need another powerboard? He still has his 28L tank which has a filter, heater and light. He says yes, and also nana (my ex wifes mum, lovely person, love her to bits) wanted a powerboard with a switch. He said I'd get paid back as all his bank went into the 1200 long, 450 wide, 650 tall fish tank. No, not happening. Nana got her powerboard with switches and my kid also got one. Nana is a pensioner so i don't mind helping her out, and the powerboard for my kid, whilst he did save hard for half his tank (my birthday present to him was a tad bit over a pineapple in a birthday card so he could get his big tank) it was just like the batteries for a gift to a child. You dont gift a child something without batteries. Anyhows, i used my secret weapon to crack the prince of procrastination into gear. I had to go way back to my younger years. Yep, simple peer pressure from me got him to start assembling the tank stand. Im a heaps good dad.... |
