Having a daughter
Today, the learning support assistant in Niamh’s class at school was called away to show someone around the building. One of her tasks is reading out a story — actually, a daily “diary” written by the children themselves — out to the class, which obviously she couldn’t do if she wasn’t present. So Niamh read the whole thing out instead.
In the middle of me feeling immensely proud of my daughter for being chosen as the best reader in the class, she knocked a tub of soapy bubble mixture over on the floor of my study.
I’m not sure I have a message here. But it’s fun having a daughter.
Why was there a bucket of soapy bubble mixture in your *study* ?!?

Mike: ‘cos she was showing me that she could blow bubbles while I was trying to write some code :)

A bucket, that’s old-school. I got a bubble gun for my last birthday (some things you never grow out of) but it’s not quite as satisfying as dunking a hoop into some fairy liquid and making really huge bubble towers.
That said Niamh is probably a better reader than me. I have no clue how to say “niamh” and she probably does, so I lose!

You’re not alone in that, Mike. It’s pronounced “neev”. Neve Campbell, the actress, took the easy way out. Niamh Cusack, on the other hand, gets all my respect.
