PS If I tell you that the best bit of the ceremony was the free bottle of water, that gives you some idea of what our university excels in.
You got free water?!? If they had provided us with water, that would have been the best bit of my ceremony. (That's not quite true - I got to see a load of UGs graduate whom I had taught on and off for the last three years and that's always nice; it means so much to them) |

Phew. I can at last sit and relax. After football practice we brought a scary, hyperactive child with the attention-span of a fruit fly, back home for lunch and to play for the afternoon. However, after about 30 minutes of him rampaging around the house - it was raining at the time, so they were indoors - I decided that I'd take them to the local Wacky Warehouse for a couple of hours. What a brilliant idea that was! Sorted. Noisiest place on the planet but I'm sure my ears will stop ringing sometime this evening. When we returned home, the sun had come out so I made them a picnic to have in the garden on the climbing frame thingy.  I've just taken him home where hopefully his long-suffering parents might have a reasonable night's sleep, he being pretty much worn out. As we are also...... |

Thanks! Is it funny then? My friend says that she was blubbing at one point during the song "The Winner Takes it All". Meryl Streep apparently excellent.

I love Abba. When we were on our holiday, the resident cabaret artistes did a Mamma Mia evening. Very popular. I was also rather cheered that the classical concerts were very well attended too. Usually there's very few in the audience, but every time it was a full house. It was a concert pianist and my child thought he was wonderful, as did everyone else except me. I didn't rate him at all. He made loads of mistakes and worked mostly from the music. I think if you're going to call yourself a concert pianist you should at least learn the pieces. One of the pieces advertised was the "Moonlight Sonata". I was looking forward particularly to that, but he just played the first movement - you know, the bit that everyone can play - and didn't play the other two. He did that from the music as well!  |
