HAPPY 60TH DAD!

This is a post dedicated to dad, wishing you a Happy Happy Birthday from Ghana! The local clothes are so bright and vibrant here, men wear pink lace proudly, in long dresses with pants. The shirts are never mono-tone, but brightly printed batiks or a print of any kind. So I sent dad a small token from Ghana, much to the delight of the locals here who just brim with pride when I mention my father is wearing their national dress.
Thanks to dad for all your help while I am in Ghana. Being my personal book keeper, confidant and best dad ever! Congratulations on your new work premises too, it makes the shipping containers over here look a little underwhelming.

So you have exceeded the life expectancy of a male in Ghana (59 years), and still doing Newcastle Surf Club proud – winning the beach sprint, and beating 26 of the 30 over 50 year olds in the swimming race!! You make me proud dad, and I wish you a really happy birthday – even if it has to be without your favourite Jenkins daughter present!
The Best Dad!
