Last night we went to a great talk featuring the mathematician Marcus du Sautoy. The Kid had a good talk with Marcus afterward, and came home all fired up about advanced mathematical topics, speculating on whether maths will be part of her future career, and showing signs of becoming his groupie.
This is one of the few events I've taken her to lately. We used to go to things like this all the time.
This morning, it was very hard to drag the Kid out of bed for school after her late night. She's in one of the lowest maths sets at school. I've no idea why that is - perhaps because her times tables are a bit shaky after all - but for the time being she's probably best off there, contentedly totting up her columns of numbers.
