On a Saturday?

I did it the last year they had it in the county we lived in, but it was just on a normal schoolday.

Mind you, it resulted in me going to a school that had a six-day week; maybe I would have been better trading one Saturday at the start for all the ones I lost over the next seven years

Yep especially if you are applying from outside the county.

If I knew the sex of Alias's children I probably guess the schools.

After pausing just long enough to tempt unwary optimists out of doors, the rain has returned with a vengeance

The laundry has been done; or, at least, enough laundry.

And I've re-read Brave New World for the first time in quite a few years

My wee boy has now been installed at his university digs.

Trying to resist the urge to phone him and see if he's OK.

Thirty-five years ago, I was at the Last Night of the Proms. My brother had got free tickets through the law firm he then worked at, who were among the trustees of the Albert Hall and so got tickets for everything, which were (unless a partner wanted them) up for grabs to the staff. But then he realised he was away in the Lakes that weekend, so he gave them to my Dad and I. They were excellent seats, rather than standing with the hoi polloi, and it was a really enjoyable evening

And you haven't even needed facebook to remind you

Yes, we had these things called "memories" in those days

Right, I'm off to the Chinese

He will be out doing that awkward socialising you do on your first evening.
