Meanwhile

....MissM has been busy, busy, busy...


Four days of fun and 'intellectualness'
at a sunny Latitude festival
including an audience with Germaine Greer
in case you were wondering.


MissM is now an intern at Bradt Travel Guides
working on image rights from the Yukon and North Korea.
The good people of Bradt have been very welcoming
and MissM has been part of the winning Pub Quiz team,
fully involved in birthday cake management
and allocated a space on the company picnic blanket.


Tonight she sits next to me on the sofa
reading Euripides in a battered Penguin Classics edition
and I think to myself
"If this isn't nice, I don't know what is".

    You just have to savour the moments when they happen. Our young grow up and we feel proud and sad in the same breath...

      The days are slow but the years are fast.

    I loved Euripedes when I took a course in Greek tragedies (there are only 36 or 37 of them). MissM has good taste :-)

    She's just too cute, with brains and style too boot.

      And beautiful nails - which makes me very jealous.

      It was a lovely evening - especially as MissM did the washing up after supper. Can life get any better?
