Clearly when they were giving out the brain cells, I opted for the express queue, labelled ‘five or less’. Luckily our nephews demonstrated sound judgment, by taking advantage of a BOGOF, and doubled theirs!
Seriously though, what a bright generation they’re becoming.
Alfie James Palmer. Currently at City University, but lucky enough to have secured (and just completed) a year as an Industrial Placement with the mighty McDonalds as a Technical Analyst.
Frankie Stephen Palmer. Having just completed 13 (yes, 13!) GCSEs, Frankie’s been invited back to ICL Summer School for the second year. It makes my 8 Os look rather pathetic by comparison! Frankie seems to have harnessed the twin talents of being exceptional at both Piano and Maths. Although I can’t vouch for his Maths, this talent does run in the family – even I’ve got that gene! – I’ve heard him play the piano, and he is nothing short of superb!!
Oliver James Gambles. Oliver has clearly picked-up the musical gene in the family, and at the annual end-of-term bash at his current school – Duncombe – he wowed the audience with his command of the flute. Flute? FLUTE? In my day, it was violin, violin, violin, recorder, recorder or recorder! He was just superb – and at such a young age too! Sadly, no photographs here, because the school doesn’t like any pupil-pics on social media, so here’s one of his satchel!
I think it’s time we encouraged our cats to accept some career advice and not spend the day sleeping and eating!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
