He was, rightly, heckled afterwards, but we&#8217;d had to hand in our evaluation forms before he graced the stage which was a tad annoying. His grand finale was a little too close for comfort to David Brent&#8217;s &#8220;Simply the Best&#8221; exit. I saw him skulk away from the building afterwards&#8230; Granted, we share the same ideas about helping dads who want to be more involved get more involved&#8230; but the door should definitely be open for parenting help for father figures in general, non-biological fathers, same-sex couples and all kinds of non-conventional family structures. Hmmm. Well, you can pick and choose what you take away from these things even if you have to put up with a lot of conservative crap along the way. Nice dessert, mind.<\/p>\n<p>Anyroad, just got back and Sita&#8217;s nowhere to be seen and her folks are arriving in a few hours so I shall busy myself for a bit around the homestead.
