Happy Father's Day!
My kids were so hyped that they shook me so much I spilled coffee everywhere. They made this for me as a surprise. I’ve never been so proud.

New and welcome trend: A couple of companies have asked if I want to opt out of Mother's Day (and Father's Day for one of them) emails. My parents are both gone, and my wife and I are not parents, so such emails are at best irrelevant to us. I hope more companies follow this trend.

Least Kan Lakan be Forgotten: April Fools Edition 3 of 3
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Fool / #AprilFools #MastoPrompt Cruel #WordWeavers April Fools.Mao took a sip under Lakan's watchful gaze.
“What’s that?” he asked.
Clack!
“Is it good?”
Mao shot En'en a piercing look. “Come on, woman,” she thought. “Tell him.”
Clack!
Onsou leaned down and whispered, “It’s a scholar’s elixir.”
The relief Mao felt didn’t reach her face. Her ally had failed her, but the enemy had come to her rescue.
Lakan watched as she took another drink. “Can I try some?” he asked.
Mao hesitated, then pushed the juice toward her father, and finally beckoned to En’en.
When En’en leaned down, Mao said in a stage whisper, "Tell him he shouldn't drink that."
“That should placate Grams,” she thought. “I tried to warn him, as if the Freak would ever listen.”
En’en repeated, “She says not to drink that.”
“Anything my daughter can drink, I can,” Lakan said, taking a swallow. “Ahg! What’s in there?”
“Sweet flag, polygala, and ginseng,” Onsou said.
Lord Kan took another sip and made a sour face. “One more,” he said, taking a gulp, then stuffed a large handful of sugared walnuts into his mouth.
Clack… Clack… Clack…
“Lord?” Onsou said, frowning at his lord’s last move.
Clack!. Mao captured Lakan’s pieces, breaking his formation.
Lord Kan blinked, picked up a piece, and then set it down again. “I need to take a nap,” he said, his head sinking to the table.
“Then I am no longer needed,” Mao announced, rising.
Once they were out of the room, Yoa asked, “What happened?”
Mao smiled. “Onsou forgot to mention the alcohol from the ginseng tincture.”

Least Kan Lakan be Forgotten: April Fools Edition 2 of 3
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Fool / #AprilFools #MastoPrompt Cruel #WordWeavers April Fools.The room looked much as it had in her recent dream. Courtesans lounged on pillows while Joka played the erhu, looking bored. The air was thick with the scent of high-quality incense. While not as expensive as the frankincense and myrrh in her dream, it was still too costly to waste on this guest. He probably didn't even notice it. There was no wine present either. At Verdigris House, it was well known that Lord Kan was allergic to alcohol; the slightest amount would render him comatose.
Mao wordlessly sat down at the Go board across from Lord Kan. Her father had already placed nine black stones on the board. Mao studied them as if they would reveal her opponent’s strategy rather than merely representing the handicap he had given her.
“Evening, daughter. I'm pleased you joined me,” Kan began.
.…
"As you can see, I have given you a full handicap. If you want more, you can rearrange them.”
With a sharp clack, Mao placed a black stone on the board.
Kan nibbled on a lotus seed cake, crumbs dropping onto the Go board. He silently placed a white piece on the board.
"The cakes are excellent. Would you like one?" Lakan offered.
Clack!
“Or some sugared walnuts?”
Clack!
This went on for minutes on end, with Lakan placing his stones and chattering at Mao. The only response he received was the irritable sound of Mao placing her pieces.
This went on until the lord captured his first group of Mao’s pieces.
“This won’t do,” Mao muttered. She looked at En’en. “My drink.”

Least Kan Lakan be Forgotten: April Fools Edition 1 of 3
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Fool / #AprilFools #MastoPrompt Cruel #WordWeavers April Fools.As soon as Mao and her party were out of the madam's earshot, Mao said, "I need to stop by the apothecary for a moment. There's something I need."
Onsou raised an eyebrow, so Mao hurried on. "If I am to play Go with that goblin, I need every advantage. I wish to fetch a 'Scholar's Tonic.'”
Onsou nodded.
“And I need fruit juice, not wine. We’ll need to stop by the kitchen.”
“I’ll see to it,” Onsou said, summoning a girl to fetch it.
Once in the apothecary, Mao announced what she was getting, making sure Onsou heard.
“Scholar’s tonic: sweet flag to clear the mind and polygala to open it. And a vial of ginseng tincture for clarity.”
“And juice,” Mao said as a girl entered with it. “Not wine, which would cloud the mind.”
She took the bottle, added the Scholar’s Tonic and the ginseng tincture, then said to En’en. “Give this to me when I ask for it.”
En’en glared but took it. Ignoring the look, Mao said, “It’s a mental stimulant. If the Freak complains, just tell him that.”
She turned to Onsou. “Since I'm forced to, I’ll play Go with the Freak, but I won’t talk to him.”
He nodded, looking troubled, but turned and led the way to the main guest room where Kan Lakan waited. No one heard him mutter, “#Cruel, cruel woman.”

Least Kan Lakan be Forgotten: Father’s Day Edition (2 of 2)
#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Father #FathersDay #MastoPrompt #Rocky[Continued from previous post]
Mao’s eyes narrowed when her former bodyguard Steele met her, En’en, and Yao at the medical room’s door.
The mercenary addressing Mao said, “I have orders to guard you.”
Mao assessed her: “Brigandine, recently cleaned; no bow, but she still carries a short, curved scimitar; and new boots. She’s doing well for herself.”
The skirmisher still had the tan and tousled look of someone more accustomed to riding a horse than being a bodyguard, though.
Mao grimaced; "healthy too." She would have loved to dose the woman, but there wasn’t the slightest sign of ill-health.
“This way, Lady Maomao. Dr. Liu’s orders are that you are not to bother him.” The gleam in Steele’s eye did nothing to diminish Mao’s resentment toward her.
“These are for you,” her guard said, handing Mao a bundle of sky-blue clothes. At least she attempted to hand them to her.
“Are these from ‘him?’” Mao asked, refusing them.
“They are from Lord Kan.”
“Then you may have them. Sell them if you can’t wear them.”
“And if they say I stole them?” the mercenary said.
“Then burn them! I don’t care.”
“Very well. I'll tell them to talk to you if there are any concerns.”
Mao's brows puckered with annoyance, but she said nothing, while the other two women watched with both sympathy and amusement.

#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Father #FathersDay #MastoPrompt #RockyIt had been a while since Maomao had worked with Yao and En’en, but an overnight fire in a barracks meant that every available hand was needed. Dr. Liu has set Maomao to making salve while the other two women rolled bandages. Chaos reigned around their busy island of work. Doctors and other staff flowed in and out of the medical room, constantly demanding more salve, bandages, and other supplies. Screams of soldiers lying on the ground outside rent the air.
This was the scene that greeted Dr. Liu when he entered the room. He cast his eyes around and lit on Mao, fixing her with a #rocky stare usually reserved for Tianyu. She wanted to cover her head in case he tried thumping her head or boxing her ears.
“Here,” he said, thrusting a paper at her. “And take those two,” he said, gesturing toward Yao and En’en. “You’re to be attended like a proper lady!” He nearly spat the last words. Then, without explanation, he turned and left the room.
Maomao clicked her tongue. Having Dr. Liu upset with her would be nothing but a pain. Then there was the paper. She looked at it. On the outside was Onsou’s chop. That meant it was a directive from her unspeakable progenitor. No wonder Liu had taken it seriously, and so he should have. Thwarting Lakan was signing your own death warrant.
She opened and read it. Her tongue clicked again, and her face grew grim: a day with her unspeakable—his birthday.
“It’s an invitation to Verdigris House for this evening,” Mao told the two women who were looking at her curiously. “Due to my ‘status’ and recent events, I am to bring two attendants.” The tone of her voice made her displeasure apparent.
En’en interrupted, “It is not fitting that Lady Yao should act as your attendant!” Daggers couldn’t have been sharper than her words.
For the third time, Mao clicked her tongue. “Tell that to Dr. Liu.”
“It’s okay,” Yao said. “I'm sure it’s the Moon Prince showing his favor for her.”
En’en didn’t look convinced, but there was no disobeying the doctor’s instructions.
“I could use less favor,” Mao thought.
“It’s not from the prince, it’s from that offal that calls himself my #father,” she explained.
"Come," Mao said, grabbing En'en's arm. "Let's tell Dr. Liu we're needed here."

Grace Golden Clayton suggested to her minister that he honour all fathers at a Sunday service, which he did on 5 July 1908.
Sonora Smart Dodd attempted to establish an official equivalent to Mother's Day for fathers, which was implemented statewide in 1910. It grew from there was established as a federal holiday in 1972.Sources

It' is or was the father's day today in this grey and gloomy country. To celebrate we got up before seven for the firstborn's basketball game, from which thre younher one went pretty straight to her own training.
After lunch I dragged the youth to a local museum #MuseoLeikki because they have a "Transformers - from toys to legend" exhibit that I wanted to see.
Despite the inhuman wakeup time for a definitely-not-a-morning-person, it was a nice day 👍🏻👍🏻

Three good things:
1. My oldest, despite working until 2am, got up and had a Father's Day breakfast with me and the rest of our family. He did promptly go back to bed afterwards but I understand that.
2. My local gym has installed body wash dispensers in each shower cubicle so I don't have to remember to bring some each time I use the showers there.
3. The weather in #Perth may be crap today but people were still out with umbrellas and picnic blankets out at Pinnaroo Memorial Park sharing time with family since passed and the biggest congregation of kangaroos north of Perth Zoo. -
"Father’s Day. Ah, the warm glow of parenthood, paternal or maternal. And the chill terror.
Terror? The 40-something son of friends died last month. ... When we heard, my wife Beth and I felt sorrow for those friends. We also felt fear."

Sponge cake finished. Used some of my blackberry jam in the middle. Pretty happy with the result. Hope it tastes ok🙂

Happy Father’s Day. And a special hug to Dads who have lost a child, and to those whose Dads have passed on. #Australia #FathersDay

First half done, and it's looking encouraging. We only have one smaller round cake tin so I have to do them one at a time, rather than two together.

Happy Father's Day!
Catching up with my dad and family for lunch later today. Trying my hand at baking a sponge cake this morning. Not my usual thing, and my mum has set a high standard, so I'll see how it goes. I do have a shop one as a backup plan 🙂

Happy #FathersDay Australia dads.
Be the best human ever. Never stop learning from your experiences and those of others. Seek out the best of us and learn from them. Call out the worst of us.
The household environment that you bring your kids up in will have a lifelong impact on them. -
Here's a Fathers Day parenting hack: When you're dining out with (or without) your kids, maintain a 'no devices at the table' rule that includes parents. Your kids will love that you're engaging with them.
