Proud Parent Post.

[curiouswombat]

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!

Many, many congratulations! Bask, relax and be happy! You must have done something right and maybe it was worth all those agonizing races to the ferry to get her to college on time.

Thank you!

Or I could just be sitting here going 'Oh No! Two more years of mad dashes to the boat!'. Actually I might give her my little car to take back eventually, and she can make her own dashes.

Cool! Then we can watch for your car on Google Maps in a whole other country/landmass. :)

I think it comes of living on an island - it doesn't take a lot to keep me amused... :~P
