(Not so) Happy Fathers Day

Hm. Well, there's the (small) consolation that we celebrated the American Fathers Day in Bangkok already. I knew the Aussie one was this Sunday but have had NO energy to put ANY effort into ANY sort of celebratory activity. Poor Jon! Two things make it a bit easier for him not to feel to glum: 1) he thinks Fathers Day is overrated (along with Valentines Day and the like) and 2) no one else we've come across in this city has said anything about the Aussie Fathers Day. You'd never know it was happening if it wasn't in your diary! Besides, its been a pretty hard day. We left the service REALLY early today -- Jemima was a bit inconsolable so I was in the lobby with her, and Emily was having an extended tantrum so Jon took her for a walk. So our bags were sitting in the service all on their lonesome and there just didn't seem any point staying. Sunday is actually the LEAST relaxing day of the week for us. Sad, ey?
