I missed you last Friday but whilst I regret I have not had huge amounts of interesting research or stunning ideas for you I have been really quite busy. For one thing I bought a horse ( off which I have already fallen ). I will try to resist the urge to talk about him too often - for some people, I am told, find horses rather boring. Also, he is called Sean, which is a fine name if you have two legs, but hard to live with on four. If you aren't one of these people for whom horses hold little appeal do let me know and I'll send you a picture. Sad eh!
We have also had the much dreaded performance of Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. If you recall Hen had secured the part of Potiphar's wife. "Come and lie with me love." Truth be told I was not hugely looking forward to this occasion. Her individual performance, albeit brief, lived up to my worst expectations. Lots of swivelling hips, fluttering eye-lids and pursing of lips. All this from a 13 year old, but it was actually fantastic. Her youngest sister, Lottie, was not so impressed. "I thought the Avocado was better" she said, puzzlingly. After some investigation by us, we discovered she was referring to Hen's previous role as Yum-yum in The Mikado.
Just to get away from rather sticky ground, combining two old themes of mine, poultry and the intellectual advantages of living in Cambridge, on the train home a couple of nights ago, I was sitting opposite a silver haired, emminent looking gentleman engrossed in a book. Eventually I managed to sneak a look at the front cover of what he was reading. See attached photograph......I have subsequently resisted the temptation of buying it on Amazon.
