Happy Birthday Pops

you'd think with all the painting i'd be sleeping like a baby at night, but no, another rubbish nights sleep and awake for a couple of hours. slept in til 8.30am to compensate.

today would've been my dads 74th birthday. remembering all the good times, and especially how we celebrated his 70th birthday 4 years ago, which was just weeks before he passed away. i have this picture of him (which is a photocopy of an original) stuck with blue tac to one of my doors upstairs. it was off a picture display we did for his 70th, and i love it. need to find the original and try to photoshop it back to life. Me, mum and li took flowers to the cemetery (in the driving rain and wind - flaming June eh!), and had our traditional wee drop of whisky there!

then off to a funeral. was a lady who i lived near to when i was young, the mother of one of my school friends. she was a character, and was nice to see some familiar faces and talk about the old times.

back to 49 to do a couple of hours, and finished mums bedroom off, which i'm very pleased with.

home and tea, and now raising a whisky to the best dad in the world, on his birthday xxxxx
