Spend a lovely albeit wet day in London today attending the graduation ceremony of my Daughter from UCL university (see picture above). It was held at the huge Festival Hall on the South Bank and all went pretty much without a hitch barring a couple of Pro-Palestine protests, obvs!, our girl really enjoyed herself which was great to see. UCL is a big establishment with thousands of students and our hands were quite sore by the end of it as our kid was almost last out, still, that's both of them done now, no more clapping other people's kids for hours! Interestingly they also handed out an honorary degree to Amol Rajan (presenter of University Challenge) who gave a really inspiring speech, he even quoted Richard Dawkins! I googled him after the event and learn that he is also an Atheist and loves cricket, he's gone way up in my estimation!
