Another part of the birthday gift is a first batch of driving lessons, albeit he's had a head start with some off road driving sessions earlier this year.
Also for opening today was a book that Nicky scoured Waterstones in Canterbury for on Saturday (whilst Jake was sitting some more SATs). Jake had seen it in Blackwell's when we were in Oxford last week. I'd bought him a copy of Ed Thorp's biography (him of the legendary 'Beat the Dealer'). Apparently the Waterstones staff took quite a while to find it, having decided that it belonged in the True Crime section rather than in Economics.
