Proud parent time. We attended the graduation of the eldest offspring last week.
He didn’t go to uni straight from school, it was a while before he knew what he wanted to study. Having made that decision he then chose a mostly local uni so he could continue to work, then took the accelerated course; so no summer break, 3 years study crammed into just 2 years solid work.
We are impressed, and obviously chuffed.
He now has this: BA (Hons) Outdoor Adventure Education from the University of St Mark and St John.
The smallest one is the original Sprigasaurus (we already had 2 sprogs and she was something of a surprise and too diddy to be another sprog, so became the sprig).
She has entertained me tonight while she baked cookies to share for someone’s birthday at college tomorrow. I have been subjected to music from at least 3 decades and many genres. She knows the words to all of them; from Ozzy and AC/DC through to Disney princess songs and then a selection of drum and bass. She has made excellent use of spatulas and wooden spoons as microphones and has serenaded me. She even managed a duet with herself. Not sure why she is doing a tech course and not drama after this evenings entertaining performance.
