Well, No.1.Son is ensconced in his en-suite room in the student halls at Royal Holloway and No.2. Son has moved from the caravan next to the house into the room vacated by No.1 Son.
It didn't go completely smoothly - the electronic pass key to his halls didn't work - none of the students could get in. The powers that be used the PIN code to open the door, but neglected to tell us the code, so as soon as the door closed again they were locked out yet again on the next trip to decant possessions from their parents' cars. Luckily, I'd remembered the code that was punched in the first time.
It's amazing what some students bring with them. No.1 Son just had a couple of holdalls of clothes and a box of essentials, like bedding and cooking utensils. One girl opposite No.1 Son's room seemed to have brought the entire contents of her bedroom, and more.
A defining point in life - almost, but not quite, self sufficiency. Oh well, one down, one to go in another 2 years.
I see the Chancellor (of the UK) has realised how important the student vote is with a proposal to cut tuition fees. What the hell Boris is up to is anyone's guess, but he does seem to be defending the indefensible yet again. With friends like Boris, Mrs May needs no enemies...
