Slightly nervous
I've just booked a hotel room and membership for the World SF convention in London next month. Several people I know are involved in running/planning/speaking, but I'm feeling somewhat nervous - it's a long time since I've been to a really big con.
In other news, my nephew not only got a First in Maths but also came top of his university. The very old one half an hour south of Banbury. Hard to beat that - yes, he's going straight on to PhD study.
On Sunday Dave and I went down to London to visit F, who has moved in to a rather charming little flat in Fulham. Just her and her boyfriend this time. She's definitely cocooning. R came along to join us, bring her new boyfriend, also an actor and an extremely likeable young man, clearly besotted with her.
I was saddened by the news of Rolf Harris's conviction. I always found Savile and Hall creepy, but when I was a child I thought Rolf was wonderful. I just hope no more of my childhood heroes are tainted.
