Picked up on impulse in Waterstone's, and it's been hyped a bit, appearing on a few 'summer read' lists. It was the story of two women alone in a house in post war Netherlands, and the friction and attraction between them, with a twist in the third act. Jolly good holiday reading, so it'll go into Helen's Tsundoku. Today was William's last day at primary school, so after 14 odd years we are no longer part of the Goldsworth School family. I feel a little robbed as William decided last week that he would cycle to and from school by himself; that's great, and I'm super-proud of him for that, but it meant that I unwittingly had my last ever school pickup the week before.. It would have been nice to mark the occasion. They had the leavers' assembly earlier today and I sneaked out for an early lunc to watch it Lots of tears as they sang songs about growing up. I hope he thrives at Woking High School, but I must admit to being more worried about our baby boy coping than I ever was with the other two.
