Was going to duck around the Bodhi Tree this week, but feeling quite inspired ahead of the Jungfrau Marathon on Saturday actually so a couple of things by way of a goodbye and thank you for all the amazingly generous support I have received. P.S. I am out of the office next week in Singapore on a “Business trip”.
Fact is it is probably a good thing I am not going to be around for the next week or so. I have to admit that the spectres of Tom Brown’s Schooldays and Flashman hang over me quite heavily when I think of my little precious darling heart starting his first days at big boy’s school. His phone, as a matter of routine for the new boys, has been taken from him by his housemaster, for the first couple of weeks, but at least I have his elder sister Jemima to look after him and with whom I had the following exchange on Blackberry messenger yesterday.
ME: Meant to say if you see Bob and not too embarrassing pls will you take a photo of him in his uniform and bbm it to me??! Give him a big kiss from me too!!! Xxx
JIMMY: NO
ME: Why does that not surprise me! Oh come on....only if the opportunity arises! Did he look happy?
JIMMY: Yeh, little scared. But happy.
ME: All v daunting for him not knowing what embarrassing things his big sister is going to do...like take a photo of him
JIMMY: Daddy I am not going to u freak.
Oh well, you can but try. Anyway, he is now armed with a brand new Dell laptop bought at sickening expense on the school computer scam ( I mean scheme ) and this email has just arrived.....
