Number One Son
Mar. 3rd, 2008 06:54 pmLack of posts from me this weekend because Number One Son flew over from New York for an interview for the Rome Scholarship (fingers crossed) and came up from London (where he is dossing with Number One Daughter and her Best Beloved) just for the weekend. Despite being in the UK for ten days and despite saying he was going to spend all of it (except for the interview day) at home, he's managed to make appointments in London which mean he arrived late Saturday and left Monday afternoon via the MegaBus.
However he did announce that he plans to come home sometime later in the spring and spend a possible five or six months at home before either starting on the Rome Scholarship (if he gets it) or an MA at the Bartlet (UCL) - which is the other application that he's made. Home... for five months. He's twenty six. With his globe-trotting and serial university degree habits he's not been at home for more than a week since he was 18. Can I cope?
Yes of course I can.
I can.
No... really...

(Or maybe put him in touch with you when the time is right - for you.) He's into architecture, of course, not history, but I know you have a lot of experience (and I know not all of it has been the best!).
