Well, I haven't achieved much today other than read cartoons... Work was oh! so boring the only good thing the on going story of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage to keep me going. Got a couple of books arriving tomorrow... one on functional programming the other on Service patterns. Wow I do read some interesting stuff don't I. My eldest started a new school this week and she's blossomed immensely. It looks like being a tiger dad has paid off. She's already won two house points and got a superb. She's looking forward to ICT to really show off. The good thing about this school is is that its a feeder for City of London school for Girls. Which is the Top and (I mean top) rated school in the whole of the the United Kingdom and the US, and most of Europe... OK the whole of the fucking planet, cos to be honest anywhere outside of London, Tokyo and New York is pretty damn inferior. So a bit more tiger dading and in 5 years time I'll be able to get her in to it. I reckon my youngest will breeze it too. So you may be thinking... Oi arsehole y u do dat to ur girls. Because the best education a dad can buy will set them up for life. After school, into Imperial, LS,E Cass Oxbridge, Harvard, MIT Columbia, TelAviv, Insead, Zurich and Singapore. Little do my girls know, they are our retirement plan... Get em educated, Get em earning and mum and dad are gonna live off them in our retirement.
But at this point - I will abuse that great American Author John Steinbeck and Scottish Poet Rabbie Burns - the best laid plans of mice and men. Betcha, the two little buggers will wanto to be actresses or models or singers, Rather than Highly paid Lawyers Medics or Bankers. Damn, just my luck they'll be a looser like their dad.
One thing I would like to clarify, is that I'm not that great a husband, I'm just a very ordinary bloke who loves his wife, and it does amaze me that some people find it laudable that I still find my wife gorgeous even though she's lost her boobies through cancer and that the chemo has fucked up her looks. Mind you she has found out about my shopping spree on lingerie for her and she is more than a little pissed of about the cash I spent... but fuck it she'll look sexy in the stuff.
These things are worth it in the end
