This is a question Dad stories

"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

My favourite time I spend with the bodach is when we don’t speak.
Out in the boat lifting the lobster pots, one steering the other with the hook doing the lifting. The only communication is an occasional arm movement, for all purposes we’re acting as a single entity.

I like arriving back at the house, all wellies & oil skins, out of breath from the climb up from the shore. A beer and a whisky while we clean the fish and shell the lobsters. Half a day’s activity and perhaps no more than five sentences pass between us, and two of them concerned how much whiskey to pour.
