I'm goin' fishin'
I was listening to the radio and heard them talking about a Fathers Day competition, it was a weekend for two at a swanky fishing resort. You had to send a photo of dad with his son/daughter and if your name was called out, you had a certain amount of time to call back to go into the draw.
Every time I heard it I'd think... I should send in a photo, but as usual said... I'll do it later. Well the day it was to end I heard it again and decided to do it right way. So I email a photo and father/daughter details even though I didn't think I'd have much chance sending it in so late.
That night Bek answered the phone and someone said... Quick Bek, ring the radio station, your name was just called out. She was so excited she didn't even ask who it was and didn't recognise the voice, still don't know who it was.
So, I call back the radio station and they told me that her dad had won a fishing watch (has moon phase thingy on it and it will tell you the best time to fish each day and will even vibrate half an hour beforehand blah blah blah). He also said that because I called back before the time was up, he would go into the draw for the fishing weekend.
It was drawn on the Friday before Fathers Day and I listened to the radio on and off most of the day and never heard his name called out, and because they didn't ring I assumed that he wasn't one of the seven winners. Wrong... they were just a bit slow ringing. They rang yesterday afternoon and said that he'd won and that I should receive the details in the mail early next week.
It's for two nights at Nimbo Fork, fishing gear and a 2 hour fishing lesson, all meals, and they'll even pack a picnic lunch if you wanna fish all day. It's worth about two and a half thousand bucks. Scored me some BIG brownie points here.
Normally I wouldn't even think of going but after reading the website I TOLD him he was taking me. Check it out, it's a freakin luxury fishing resort... this is my kinda fishing. It's beautiful and looks so relaxing and peaceful.
And ya know what... I'm even going to go to the fishing lesson and I'm going to fish.

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!
hey... I just had a thought
what about we leave Laurie at home and you and me go?
Hang on, wouldn't that be wrong?
Would it? I mean, it was a Fathers Day Competition after all.
But then I was the one that entered him and I sent the photo and email and won it. I done all the work.
Now that sounds a great idea... cos Jo ,Laurie doesnt need fishing lessons hes such a great fishingman and his got his own boat :)
That's true Robyn, and he goes all the time. You and me never get to go fishing. I think we should go.
Now that would be a better fathers day pressie ,a whole weekend on my own
Forget it !!!!
