This is just a proud parent squee!

Daughter-dear has an unconditional offer to study post-grad Law next year at the College of Law in York - exactly what and where she wanted.

She comments that Permission to fuck up all the rest of my exams has been granted I guess!
But knowing her I don't think she is likely to start slacking... Well I hope not!

She was actually home on a flying visit at the weekend, to attend a couple of important birthday celebrations, and to say goodbye to her 'best friend since playgroup' who is going travelling for a year or two. They went out for afternoon tea, and D-d was wearing a skirt that I really love, so when she got home I took her photograph.

The only thing is that she had been walking close to the sea, and also crying at saying goodbye to Jenny, and so, when I looked properly at the picture, her beautiful skirt is all blotchy!

That's fantastic! Congratulations to her!

She is really happy - she will probably specialise in corporate law - she likes all the research side rather than the idea of standing up in court.

congratulations!! (Has time passed that quickly? Seems like yesterday she was leaving for college.)

I think she's lovely, wet skirt and all.

I know - it is scary to realise that she is graduating in July.

I wish I was slim enough to borrow the skirt!

Congratulations to D-d! And that's a beautiful skirt and outfit. I hope the salt water stains can be cleaned away!

Thank you. It seems to have washed OK - she left it at home and I did it on Monday with some brown stuff of mine.

Thank you! She says, on reading the small print, that the standard terms and conditions mean that she does actually have to get her degree... :~)

She is so relieved toknow that she is going to be where she wants to be for the next two years - and I am happy that she's staying in York as I like it so much too!

Time passes so quickly, doesn't it?

Congrats to D-d, that is such awesome news.

The best thing about her getting into Law School of choice is that I intend to live to be very old, and she can keep me in style...

Yay! Congratulations to D-d and to her proud parents. That's great news.

Slack away!

We are all dead chuffed - she was worried that they say 'if you get a first' or something, so 'unconditional' was just wonderful!

That's a lovely skirt -- she looks very elegant-bohemian.

And congratulations to both of you!

Elegant bohemian is the look I always wanted to achieve - which is probably why I envy her the skirt - and the jacket, for that matter!

Thank you - you'll understand that feeling of relief that things are sorted and just what she was aiming for.

How wonderful! Congratulations to her and I can't imagine how it must feel for you.

And by the way. You keep saying she is better looking than you, but she looks the way she does because of you - so stop putting yourself down!
