Sunny Monday morning down our way, hope all is well down your way. Busy weekend here, taking child 3 on an university open day.
Loads of callers/texters/emailers on Friday were doing the same. It's a new parent/child ritual as baffled students walk around lecture theatres and accommodation blocks with a 'search-me' face on and parents regale their offspring, maybe for one last time, with tales of their student larks.
And as we were wandering around my old uni, I can confirm that's precisely what happened with me and child 3. He gratefully received his fathers wisdom from under the security of his headphones. And then we made it back to London's glittering West End to see Andrew Scott star in Hamlet-he's on the show soon!
Today it's Professor Robert Winston, one of the UK's toppermost (to use a scientific term) scientists and science broadcasters. He hosted Child of Our Time, The Human Body and Your Life In Their Hands, groundbreaking TV shows and now is introducing My Amazing Body Machine, a guide to how your body works.
It's a children's book but like many children's books, reminds the adult reader of many things that may have been forgotten/not known in the first place. Lord Winstone after 6.
And we have to do HARRY POTTER oldies on this 20th anniversary of the publication of the first book. Loved it all since 1997 when Philosophers Stone came out and child 1 was asking me to try and find a copy. Happy days!
