My other-half has developed this habit over the years of collecting letters after his name like other people collect stamps and coins. Arnold loves to study and has several diplomas and degrees to his name and this year will be adding one more link in the chain when he completes his degree in modern languages. It’s funny but if he added all the letters he has earned to the end of his name each time he wrote on an envelope it would take up a whole extra line.
Of course it’s all wonderful but all the study does take a toll on the ol’ eyes. He reckons one of the best things I ever bought him for his birthday was a set of those magnifying glasses that you hold over the page of a book or newspaper. They would even be a good idea for a student in school as they reduce eye strain and help the concentration.
What will his next course of study be?…hard to say but it won’t be long before he gets the itch – he is threatening to do a chemistry degree next and is already eyeing up my kitchen for his practical experiments. No way babe!
