Include someone else in the photo who has less chins and less grey hair.
The sunshine has been back in town today after two weeks of crap, and so I've been out on my bike visiting friends and family.
Two good friends, now married, (I gave him her number!) are expecting a child in less than two weeks and so it was nice to see them for the first time in a while, relaxing in their front garden and preparing for the big day. They have been living further out of the city for a while, but this new place is only an hour on the bike and not far from where my daughter lives.
After a cup of tea and a natter, I set off to meet the lady in the photo. Whereas with my friends, we are doing the distancing thing, it's not quite so distance with my daughter and today I got a pretty decent hug or two, ahh :)
She's 14 now, and quite enjoying what should be a busy school year, not being at school. Most of her friends live (in big houses) in her home town, and there is plenty of green space for them to get up to no good.
There was a confession today that her friends will 'sometimes' send the oldest looking teen to the shop where 'the guy doesn't care' to collect some booze. Great times, I remember them well :)
And because I remember them well, I don't feel the need to say anything other than 'don't get to wasted and enjoy yourself'. My days of slowly letting the rope out are seemingly over, and I've only got words now, which will likely be going in one ear and out the other.
That's cool though, she seems happy, and that's all I wish for.
Breaking news!
As I was writing this post I received an image from my (full) brother - a 12 week scan photo. All being well, I'll be an uncle again :D
It's been an awesome day, I hope yours has been too.
Cheers
Asher
I like it when you get to enjoy time with your daughter or #palnet. It would be better of course if the furlough had better #leofinance with it, but I guess you have to get #creativecoin and work the sys #stemgeeks to enjoy a little #neoxian entertainment, with some #naturalmedicine support.
:D Solid work!
Crap, 2 out of 6 :(
Nice selfie :).
Just need to test ;)
!ENGAGE 42
Cheers Holger!
Tests looking good! Thank you!
congrats
good to hear those stories beside all these troubles!
Yeah for sure, life is going on regardless, cheers! :)
Fucking hell, babies all round!! Congrats to your brother and you for being a soon to be uncle!!
14 eh, a wee smasher and that's totally the best attitude to take. That's how I will be because I remember those days well too!!
Babies day for sure :)
That's crazy news from my bro, I've had many a beer with him in the past discussing why he wasn't interested in offspring. Either he's changed his mind or covid-19/lockdown is to blame! :D
Beers in the park, trying to play footy, them were the days. Just got to hope she's a more sensible boozer than me!
I was like that. Absolutely against the idea then pop, it all changed overnight. Crazy!!
Haha, yeah. I can imagine thinking that too. Some of the antics of the young on the sauce don't bear thinking about. Girls are much more sensible though!! Hopefully!
Was it a loud pop? :)
At least there are no balconies and pools near where she is, that combination is crazy business!
It was a silent pop but huge in its own right!!!
YEah, heights are bad. Gotta keep it real in parks and shit!
Huge!
You on the beers this eve? Testing one for the fans? :D
I am indeed. I have my post up and everything and have charged on top the next one's!!! Hurrah!!
Super photo Asher!!! And congrats!
I (Lucas, not the mannequin) spent the whole day with my daughter... she's only 2 yrs old... Yep, it was a great day ;-)
Hugs
Lucas... and Hivelander
P.S. my daughter still calls him Steemitri :-(
Thank you Lucas :D
Ahhh 2 years, lovely days to be enjoyed!
Steemitri will be missed, but Hivelander will help us forget :)
It doesn't worry you knowing what you were up to at that age? :D It scares the bejeebus out of me!
Congrats on the pending uncle-hood multiplier :)
I was a good lad, just pissed as a fart on Friday nights :)
I am a worrier, but not about this. She's bright enough, so got to put some faith in that and hope for the best. Or gate crash the drinking on the field with more booze?
Cheers!
I am hoping I will be mature enough to deal with it all when the time comes.... but the jury is out for now :)
Enjoy the moments while you have them.
You'll be out of rope at some point, but I'm sure she'll be set :)
Cheers, I live for moments like today.
Great advice about less gray hair and fewer chins, the only thing is, I ain't go nobody like that. 😥
Great post though @abh12345
Haha :)
Umm well, you could always go find people and photobomb them into your selfie?
Thanks!
Beautiful photo of you and your daughter. You guys have matching dimples, d'awww, soooooo cute!
Aww thanks Lynds !
Yeah I had some killer dimples when I was younger, I think people assume they are wrinkles these days so thanks for spotting that :D
Denim never ages! Great photo!
She's had that denim for half her life! :D
This is just so lovely! Papi n daughter look good. Gray hairs are cool. I hope to see when all my hairs turn gray.
Thanks @tykee !
Not sure about looking cool, but I hear 'distinguished' - i think they are just being nice :)
Hello dear friend @ abh12345 good afternoon
It is good that you are enjoying your bicycle and you are exercising your body.
Luckily I already passed that stage of my daughter at fourteen years old, now they are all adults, thank God, although I must prepare for the adolescence of my granddaughter, but for that it takes a few years. It is the best attitude one can take.
Congratulations to you and your brother for the new family member to come.
Have a wonderful weekend
Thank you and congratulations on your ever-growing family - you must be very proud :)
Enjoy your Sunday too.
Looks it was a nice day for you, a long ride to clear the head, some great conversation with friends, and most import some great hugs and smiles. I bet it was a daydream ride back home for you. Glad you had a nice one.
It was a lovely day, and some great news at the end :)
45 km clocked too, not bad!
Inclusive selfies are the best. Good modeling, both of you.
Thank you very much! I should raise her pocket money after this one :)
Good to see your daughter and yourself having a good catch up. Nice smiling faces.
Congratulations uncle, to be...This is your second crack at it, or third?
Thank mate, loved yesterday :)
I have younger and much older half sisters who have kids - I was an uncle at 9 months old.
This one will more special as I'm in contact with my full Bro much more.
Uncle Asher has a nice ring to it...And...I only see one chin sir, well...Two counting your daughters'. It's nice to see a couple of smiling faces. Have a great weekend.
Yeah I think so :D
Thank you very much, and congrats on the 2nd place in the EL!
Thank you.
hahah I'll take notes! include someone with less chin in the frame
I'm sure you'll be fine :) Have you joined the faces of hive community yet? :D
haha I have but I didn't post much selfie. It's only like once in a blue moon for me.
Oh Boy! A bit wordless!
Wonderful... that's all I can muster!
When are my kids going to be that big?
Wonderful is exactly how I felt yesterday :)
You have some time to enjoy watching them reach this age, and it will be wonderful too.
I see no problem taking some selfies with lotta grey hair in it. As for the chin... well, that's a whole different matter. But you can always let grow an astonishing long grey or silverish beard hanging in there to increase the appeal of the selfies.
Ah! just take a peep of how gorgeous this silverish hairy & bearded beast looks like. };)
Hidden the chin, very smart :) Image has been making me laugh, I passed it on to my daughter too and she approves :)
Of course your daughter approves it. Because you will look irresistible with that long grey mane and silver beard waving in the air while riding your bike visiting the pubs. Hahahaha };)
I guess restrictions are easing up there, nice to see some non-masked faces.
We have not been told to wear masks at any point - probably why we have the most deaths in europe :/
Cheers!
That's a beautiful photograph, lovely to see :)
Thank you very much :)
ENGAGEtokens.Damn she is pretty , and we all were where she is now and some days i hope i could be there again, congrats on becoming an uncle again. Life is good
