In case you are interested, though I don't really expect you will be, as it's hardly the most rivetting of observations, the weather was alright on holiday; with one drizzly day, and a few cloudy days, and a few sweltering days; which is good, given the wildly variable summer we have had. I just mention this for the record. One day you may find the information useful.
The A level results were announced today, which will have come as joyful news for some and traumatic for others, and mildly confusing for those who don't follow these things particularly closely. I'm not sure I can remember much about when I got my own A level results, but it was a long time ago: before all this newfangled electronic mail palaver became popular (or indeed invented) and students could download the results the moment they leap out of bed (or probably access them while still in bed via a smartphone). Perhaps we had to make our way to school, and find an appropriate notice board, and huddle around, worriedly. Or maybe not; who knows? Memory can sometimes play strange tricks. Perhaps I don't actually have any A levels at all.
It was good to hear my son has got the necessary grades and hence will be off to university in the autumn. A significant milestone in his life, as he discovers the delights of higher education and living away from home. And getting massively into debt.
