cake shaped

The waiter last night was very pleased to talk about Ramadan. The thing I liked most about what he shared was how it equalized people, that whether you are a queen or poor, you still have to wait the same amount of time til you can break the fast.
It was good to hear all he had to say. I would be so rubbish at fasting.

NB, I always ask people's permission before
posting their picture on my blog :)

I've long liked Stephen Fry, and enjoyed watching most of an unscripted hour and a half of him talking to an audience. Didn't get to the end tho, needed some sleep. Only managed a little of my oxytocin book but I know I'm going to love it!

Serendipitously, both offspring have sprung home on the same day from their different schools clutching evidence of doing well at school, SATS results and certificates, there is an air of celebration. One teacher has suggested they ask their parents for a well deserved treat. Hmmm. I'm not really into rewards for attainment. But I am into celebrating :) Well, when I can persuade the tired boy to leave his screen, we shall see what treat may be found in town (I'm hoping it's cake shaped. Or maybe that will be my treat for the parenting input into any successes that I wish to claim for myself!!)
