Having a great night tonight celebrating my daughter winning her Ph.d.  <:-P <:-P <:-P

Only worry is that both daughters are due to fly out to Paris tomorrow.




Sorry (but yet not sorry) for blowing my own trumpet - but so proud of my daughter (I'm sure other fathers will understand).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

"Winning"?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Yep. Probably should have simply said "getting." But given how life can be s*** at times, she worked so hard and so, somehow, it feels like .... victory ..... like the smell of napalm in the ...  :)

The Presidents says borders are now fully closed both ways, confusingly they also say that the Airports and Trains will run as normal

Well done young Miss Westmarcher.

Just goes to show that with hard work and a passport, your can outgrow the hinderances of your parents.   :P

Sympathise entirely with the sentiment WM. One is sometimes prouder of the achievements of our children than of our own.
