How wonderful! I expect the one in charge was the 11 year old. Is she a budding gardener? Girls, I think, are often rather big on presents for grandmothers.
Have you got any more grand daughters, Phaedra? If you do, perhaps you're guessing how many more freebies are on the way!
No, I think you're probably remembering the granddaughter of my Italian-born dentist. She got her Italian A level (A*), as well as 3 others, and is off to Oxford to read/study/do Law.
My granddaughter, at the age of 3 declared that, like her mother, she's going to be a doctor.
I hope, in the meanwhile, professor Hawking sorts out Jeremy Hunt and the Tories in general, so our NHS is still there for all of us who believe in it!
As my contract with my current internet provider is reaching its end, I decided to research the companies that serve my area.
All of them had some very negative reviews but the reviews that made me laugh out loud were those about a Yorkshire based company. The one written by Iain McDonald made even tears trickle down my face!
I read many of them there and I certainly laughed. I know it's not very kind to laugh at somebody's evident despair but since so many of them expressed themselves so sarcastically, I felt rather unable to quite stop myself!
Expressions like "the one customer service rep," or "the single customer service rep" I found rather funny ( a whole company with just 1 person dealing with customers!) as well as the mishaps with routers etc. Unpleasant experiences very effectively ridiculed.

Lucky the freebies weren't nettles.

No, she's my one and only granddaughter. I also have four grandsons.
How strange! I was under the impression that you had another one who was taking A levels?

Thank you, Danae.
Beautifully satirical. I won't forget the name of the company!
Thank you, Danae.
I think comments are superfluous.
O come on, Danae, you can't preclude any comment on the...size of them, surely?
