a fairground life (graduate)
Congratulations to "r" who graduated today from Strathclyde University as a Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours, BEng (Hon).
We attended the "Barony Hall" for the ceremony, Mrs showman had me in suit and tie. The weather was scorching and with a few hundred people packed in to watch their offspring graduate the temperature rocketed. Everyone was sweating bullets for well over 90 minutes. That said it was something to see, all the pomp and ceremony including a Piper. As "r" was capped & hooded he walked back up the side aisle of the church and Mrs showman had many a tear in her eyes. When the show ended we caught up with him in the gardens of the campus were there was a Champaign reception. It was only then, when I saw him with his study mates & lecturers that I realised how he had been living two separate lives for the last four years. WELL DONE SON.
