94!

My Dear Dad turned 94 yesterday!  I know, amazing, isn't it?  Especially considering he spent 3 and a half years as a POW in WWII in the infamous Changi prison in Singapore.

 My Dear Sister 2, my DS1 and I took him out for dinner at a local Italian restaurant.


The food was delicious and beautifully presented.


DS1 had lamb shanks

I had Duck pilaf

Dear Dad had eye fillet steak

Dear Sister 2 had Chicken Caponata


Dad really enjoyed his steak!


My Dad is one of the most marvellous people that I know and I love him dearly.


Happy Birthday Dad, I love you.

hugs,

If he can eat steak for this 94th Birthday he's doing alright!!

My grandad used to take his false teeth out to eat to "make them last longer". He did not often eat steak!
