DG,
Have a great day, all of you, remember that time is fleeting, so seize days like this with both hands.

I'm sitting here at work, welling up. Thank you for this lovely piece and happy birthday to DG's dad.

Well I was up earlier than you reading this piece with a coffee cup beside me. Not that early though...
Let's enjoy the day.

If you inherit your Fathers longevity then the dg blog could have a long future.
Best wishes for you and your Dad.

I wrongly thought, on reading this, that you were describing the last day you spent with your father before he died. What a relief to know that today will be a celebration of his birthday and a wish for many more days like this to come.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

Thanks for posting DG. What lovely words.
By the way, I was at the Arsenal yesterday...what a game!

I, too, thought this was going to be sad. Phew, what a relief! Have a lovely day with your Dad. Love the blog, and especially recently the Mill Hill East walk.

Just lovely. Congratulations DGsDad, happy 75th birthday. I hope you all have a lovely day. So nice to see family members like your Great Aunt Annie posting too.

cf P and C above - this began to read rather ominously...however, pleased to see it's a day for celebrations. All in good swing by now I hope...Cheers HB DG's Dad.

Happy Birthday Daddy DG.

Well done for getting DG to do gardening ;)

Hope you've all had a great day.

Happy birthday Daddy Geezer, and many happy returns.

It's posts like this that makes dg one of my favorite reads of the day.
I too at first thought it would end with bad news but No great news, happy birthday Dad, and thanks dg.

Re the comment at 10.56am, perhaps I should mention that I am not related to DG. For me, as for most readers, he is a Man of Mystery.

Great Aunt Annie | 20.10.13 - 8:40 p.m. | #

Belated birthday wishes to DG's Dad. And now I'll start looking forward to that free TV licence...

Love this post. Happy birthday to your Dad.

Gail | 21.10.13 - 6:55 a.m. | #

I too started reading this with trepidation and was so relieved it turned out well. Happy birthday (albeit a day late) to Geezer Dad, and many more to come. Also thanks to commenters who helped me out last week on kids travelling in London. Results have been blogged.
