In case you think I only share photos of my little Dad when he's done something daft - like falling downstairs. Here he is all smart, waiting for the taxi to arrive to take him to the annual West Derby Hockey Club veterans dinner. Mum's escorting him again, which will be interesting. Last year he gave her the slip and went to the pub with his mates. I think he's the oldest vet, certainly one of the oldest at 82, but he forgets some of them are mere whippersnappers of only 50 or 60 and thinks he can keep up with them like he used to!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

i should probably have added another tag saying dapper dad! LOL

Totally smart, indeed! great pic, hon, he looks amazing. THANKS for sharing ♥

He's much more himself again now - it's taken nearly two years since his delightful header down the stairs but he's getting there....

What a dapper gentleman!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

He can be!

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Very handsome! I love the spark in his eyes.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

So do I, but I don't have to live with it LOL!

He looks so snappy!!! And I think it's hilarious he slipped out for a pint with the mates ;-)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

He's a little devil.

He's looking EXTREMELY dapper, and is it me or does he have a touch of David Jason about him?

Hee, gave her the slip and ended up in the pub, good man lol!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'd never thought about him resembling David Jason but I suppose you could say that... and they are both quite short! My Dad's only 5' 4"

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I showed Steve and he thinks he looks a little like DJ too :D

Awww, they're my height! I'm 5'4 and a tiny bit and the tiny bit makes allll the difference!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Actually he's shrunk a bit in the last couple of years - sometimes I feel I'm taller than him now (I'm 5' 1" and a bit...LOL).

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

My nana shrunk, she ended up and 4'8 O_O

Aww, such a nice picture!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks he's a sweetie. Annoying as hell but a sweetie.

I'd have never guessed 82 looking at him! He's looking great!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks, he's doing ok!

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

Heeee! What an adorable little old man. He looks so excited. ^___^

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The sad thing is - Mum just contacted me to say he'd got the wrong day (or wrong venue) so they ended up spending £200 on a taxi to Liverpool to have lunch with my aunty. I used the right tag after all! LOL

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* WELL, AT LEAST HE LOOKED HELLA DAPPER FOR THAT LUNCH.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

headdesk, face palm, the lot!!!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

He really doesn't look 82! I hope those whippersnappers don't lead him astray again!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

he's looking much better now he's more recovered from his header down the stairs a couple of years ago...!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

That's good, he looks very well and happy here. He's so sweet!

[ladywillin.livejournal.com]

Your lovely dad. I think he's fantastic!
