A heavily scheduled day. Firstly, we have the garage being readied for the kiln which is an exciting development for Mrs Plug, and I hope we can start a production line of more beauteousness. In the afternoon , I needed to do some banking, and then pick up youngest, hop on the train to Harpenden, where we would liaise with eldest, get picked up by Mrs Plug, and then arrive at her end of course exhibition. This was all smoothly done, and was not hampered by crappy train services and overpriced taxis (the previous sentence was brought to you by the word sarcasm). We then sat at the uni coffee bar whilst waiting for the exhibition to open. The coffee bar is somewhat bizarrely situated next to the swimming pool. I was forced to watch all these healthy fit bodies leaping in and out of the pool, which made me aware of my galloping age and the need to ensure I keep on top of my fitness. The exhibition was delightful, and I think we all felt so proud of her. It's been a hell of a year. The whole family should be proud of themselves for the year, and I think the girls picked up on that last night. It was interesting to see the faces of all these people that Mrs Plug has been talking about for the last year, and good to meet them. Her lecturer expressed surprise as to my appearance. It is the second time in a matter of weeks that someone has expressed surprise as to my appearance on meeting me. I am not sure how to take this really. Mrs Plug thought it was meant as a compliment, but I think she was being polite. In the evening, we had the drama group AGM, and once more I was allowed to continue as Chairman. It was very quick and painless, and nice to see everyone. I slept rather heavily after that day
