'Red is a difficult colour to wear'

Fathers day - the littles chose ties for Babanin gunu - there were no mugs to be found (so we thought) T1 ummed and ahhed - Baba nearly got a pink one - she plumped for a lilacy one...... T2 was decisive - since there were no yellow ties - then it would be red.

Being 3 nearly 4 they needed several reminders not to open the gifts - I told them to go, get them and give them to Baba this morning. T1 dutifully brought up New baby's gift - whilst T2 opened gift wrapping and brought both of the ties to Baba in his hand - you can't have everything perfect.

I pointed out that DH could change the ties if they weren't to his taste and I got the title response

Ironically after plumping for ties since we couldn't find the standard gift - mug(s) to take to the office, we found a 2 pack of very cute cat mugs, like previous years I'm sure they'll be chipped and or in mug heaven before next fathers day.

A delicious lunch of grilled levrek by the Bosporus with Dede (DH's father) and family followed without incident and in the restaurant toilets I spotted these fabulous taps.
