Poll: Happy Father's Day 2024! Doing anything special for the holiday?

Father's Day is in September here. I'll get back to you.

I too am an Aussie, so come back on the first of September and ask your question.

Any Americans here doing any special for Father's Day 2024?

I went to lunch with my daughter. Then she took me to an ice cream parlor. After that we hung out in the house she just moved into. Not much maybe, but lots to me.

Sounds like the perfect day to me.

It's Father's Day in the UK.

I did very well out of it, my kids and dil are wonderful.

And I watched England beat Serbia in the Euros while drinking a few beers.

England had a few beers while beating Serbia? Interesting approach.

As far as I'm concerned, Sunday was Bloomsday, which commemorates the day, June 16, 1904 that was the setting for the novel, Ulysses. I've always considered it a day of literary obligation. Like the protagonist, I had fried kidneys for breakfast. Then I visited a peony farm about two hours away, where I met my brother and we enjoyed the visual feast of a huge field filled with blooming peonies. It was a stunning June day with clear blue skies.
