It's amazing to think how much he has grown during the last year, and whilst I'm not talking physically, the back of the airing cupboard door attests to the fact that he's gained a few inches as well.
In other news from today, our canal holiday is now officially cancelled. Thanks to John's persistence a full refund is on its way back to us, and following a holiday organising committee meeting this evening, the plan is for Nicky to get on the phone first thing in the morning to see if we can set up a last minute booking for a property at the Cotswolds Water Park.
Finally for today, thanks to Mum for the card and bookmark that came today. (The bookmark will prove useful as I currently have one stuck in the early stages of the Pickwick Papers, and it's not going anywhere fast!) As for the extract from the newspaper, it looks very interesting. There are three featured that I've already read - The Sense of an Ending, The Psychopath Test, and The Uncommon Reader (thanks to the OSH library), a couple that are on the 'to read' shelves - Before I Go to Sleep, and Bed, and a few that I'd already got my eye on - The Antidote, The Art of Fielding, and Luck. However, in the immediate term the plan is to finish off Brave New World, and then hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to pick up the latest Grisham (due out in paperback), to take on holiday!
