Pomp and ceremony

 This week has largely been about Graduation.  I only did 4 ceremonies, but each one is a fresh adventure :D  One of my colleagues wanted to help out but was told they had too much work to do - by someone who has been on leave for two weeks!  They could have done ONE ceremony - or trusted to be a responsible adult who knows how to be a professional and left to make their own decision.  Anyway, they have kind of lived the week vicariously through me :D

I know I wax lyrical about Graduation every year.  I was telling my line manager about it (who was allowed to be responsible, adult and professional and decided for themselves that they had too much work on) who said, 'You really enjoy it, don't you?'.  Can anyone say 'massive understatement'? :D :D

Our other news is that our daughter is expecting and everything is looking good, so far.  There will be the same age gap between the grandson and the baby as between me and their mother :D :D  We're that kind of family.  I am very excited.

Oh, and the Government imploded and there's a really diverse array of potential candidates to take over as Leader of the Conservative Party and, by default, as PM.  Labour, on the other hand, continues to be led by clueless white men *facepalm*
