Bringing Rascal back from birthday party at weekend when Mrs rang and asked me to pop in to Tesco and get a few things she’d forgotten the previous day. In we pop and Rascal corrected me on what tomatoes Mummy gets. Got the other bits and take a wander down the goodies aisle. He informs me ‘Mummy got badness yesterday’. I tell him I’m just getting a Galaxy cos it’s on offer again and I’d give him a bit. ‘Out of the question’ he shouts as others on the aisle look around to see a kid telling his dad that he’s not allowed any chocolate. As usual, the tantrum won out and I opened it for the Euro final.

While technically not a Father’s issue I’m on First Communion duties for the afternoon.
This is his 4th FHC date thus far but it looks like its going ahead. Thank God for that Heineken machine they have, it’ll get a kicking in this heat.
The 25/1 punt on Oosthuizen is still in play to keep the evening pumping… Forza…

You’ll bake in the ould Magee tweed suit today.

My life partner put some balloons along with “happy birthday”, “3 today” type bunting on the front door for our fella’s birthday party yesterday. There was a knock earlier and she answered it. There were two completely random young lads around 10 years old standing there and I was listening. “We just wanted to say happy birthday to whoever was 3. Could we also have some birthday cake please if there’s any left?” I admired their initiative and it showcased a bit of the famed Dublin wit. She went in and cut them a slab of cake each, threw in a couple of packets of haribo and sent them on their way.

A lovely little story. You could have knocked a Good reply out of it had you concluded proceedings by saying “I slung them a tenner and told them to get a couple of cans for themselves”…
