johnny9fingersSWMBO and I were booked into an hotel on the waterfront in Abingdon. Felix stayed at Juan and Janet's. Felix is becoming increasingly non-linear. No conversation one has with him doesn't include mention of his time travel; his many doctorates; his position as very senior policeman; his status as a consultant psychiatrist; or how many times he has been martyred and resurrected.
Janet and Juan's kids noticed how badly he has deteriorated in this past year. Their eldest, Michael, has just gone into big school from the prep, where he was either put into or moved from the scholarship group: I wasn't paying complete attention as I was concerned about Felix, poor lad.
Anyway it's quite scary to see how academics' children grow up now in Middle England. Juan is an academic at the Rutherford lab, Janet is SCR at Hilda's: they have four kids, the eldest 13, then respectively 9,7,and 5. All of the children have their own computers in a central downstairs room; though they are limited to the amount of use daily. Gordon Bennett.
Felix is as mad as a March hare: he barely scrapes reality. [Sadness.]
Sarah was brilliant, as usual, but when isn't she?
Janet and Juan were brilliant and welcoming, as always.
And despite the computers, the kids are grounded and excelling academically, so J & J must be doing something right.
Go well and do good things.
