The New Adventures of Dads Shirt

A while ago, Mum was cleaning out our Dads drawers and I scored one of his shirts.  It is a lovely, worn in blue cotton shirt and I love wearing it because it is so cool, but also because it belongs to Dad.  Our Dad would have loved this trip, but he is not so well at the moment, but I think he will like his shirts personal pilgrimage to the Anzac 100th commemorations  To date on this trip, Dads shirt has-

 Been worn on a camel
Washed by an Egyptian laundry
Seen the pyramids......been IN the Pyramids
Slept in whilst on a Nile River cruise
Been to the Valley of the Kings
Partially wrapped around an ancient statue, but got caught....
Walked through the ancient churches of Turkey
Been laundered by Turkish cleaners (just quietly, it cost an arm and a leg to have this done and the shirt looked freaken new when it came back!!!!)
Dads shirt has been to the temple of Apollo and to a pool Cleopatra swam in.

That's just to date!  That shirt is going to Gallipoli!

It is fair to say Dads shirt has had a thrashing.

It is now lying one our hotel floor, mainly because it is exhausted and might have had a wine or two as well.  Damn shirt is a bad influence!!
