It's my daughters 19th Birthday tomorrow! Some thoughts, reflections, and wishes from a distant Dad.
Costa de la Calma, September 2024
Firstly, many happy returns love xx wishing you an awesome day today and some big nights out in the near future xx 😘
Nine years ago I left the UK to seek sunshine and the return of a more positive outlook to life in general. With the expected bumps in the road, this experience has turned out to be largely positive overall, and I'm happy to living away from the doom and gloom I remember lurking over my head so often back then. Tuning in a couple times a week to GB News, I feel little would have changed for the better if I did return, It would be nice to be seeing the lady in the photo a little more though.
In the summer of 2024 my daughter made a week long trip to Mallorca and we spend the week catching up and relaxing. I'd hoped that following my move I'd be seeing her at least once a year but this hasn't quite been the case - now she is an adult though and I'm expecting at least a visit a year, especially if I'm contributing!
Magaluf, despite it's rather poor (and mostly fair) reputation, does have at least on attraction to make you think 'oh really, that's pretty cool', and below is a photo from last year of my daughter at the Shallow Sun club.
DJs, Bali beds, drinks, nothing special there. But what about the largest glass-bottomed pool in Europe? And a sea view as well, nice!
My Daugher is a good swimmer and so I was pretty happy to hear a group of Dutch men challenge themselves and us to a race whilst we relaxed by the pool last year. I continued relaxing, mumbling something about a knackered kidney, but my Daughter fancied her chances and was beaten by only one really powerful looking guy / strong swimmer - impressive!
We also found some time to do some Paddleboarding - a hobby I've picked up whilst living here and now my most favourite thing to do on a long sunny day. Paddleboarding got the thumbs up (below) but it's not something you can learn in a day - all the more reason to plan for more trips 😄
The horizon is wonky and my hair is all over the place but I don't care as this is the most recent photo we have together. Not a bad view from Dad's balcony is it?!
With me being out of work at present there are more opportunities for my Daughter (and a friend if she wishes) to come and visit. We will chat on video tomorrow and I'm sure holidays will be amongst the topics discussed as well as Family, and in particular my Mother who increasingly struggling with her memory. We visited mum last year and I hope this will happen again in the summer - photos have become more important to her in recent times and I'd like at least one image of the three of us to frame and stick on the wall in her apartment.
Well my love, I'll chat to you tomorrow - hope your card arrives on time!
Dad / Asher
That last photo is a cracker of you both. Looking at you...well, now we know where she got her good looks you dashing bastard you.
Don't you make me tear up!!
Bless her is all that I can say. I have two as you know. Looking forward to when they grow up like her.
Mostly keeping things light these days :
It's great to speak as adults, you'll have two crackers i'm sure!
Wow man. Time does indeed fly. She looks like she has turned out well. I hope you get plenty more visits. And don't watch GB news man, it will ruin you!
Flown by around those corners it has! Cheers :)
I need to spend a day at the seaside to recover!
A perfect capture to show the bonding between you two - Happy Birthday to her..
Thank you :)
Very beautiful your daughter just like her father, may God bless her and give her lots of health and prosperity, I wish you the best for your family.
TOP idea for a belated birthday present if she likes photos: Frameo digital picture frame...
Multiple people can share the same app that uploads to it so you can upload random photos of you and she'll see them next time she's back in the house, mum can do the same, or anyone else from anywhere around the world.
They're great for families that live in different countries, something a bit more special than just texting photos on a phone.
Cracking idea that for my mum, thanks! I wasn't aware you could jig the photos from anywhere, sorted!
Saludos jeje soy de Venezuela yo tengo a mi papá a mi tia en Madrid España yo me quedé en Venezuela Valencia pero pronto iré a España ese lugar es bonito

Excellent, thanks for sharing. Beautiful photographic shots of the moment.
That is such a lovely message, Asher! It is clear to see how you love your daughter and the time spent with her. Mallorca looks like a great place to make memories, and how exciting that she shares your love for adventure... paddleboarding and swimming! The see-through pool looks spectacular, and that race must have been something to see! I hope she can see you more often, and enjoy the experience of making beautiful memories! Best wishes to you with your family, and may your mother enjoy those timeless photos.
Best wishes!
