In-car entertainment
Sitting in the interminable traffic jam generated by the interminable road-digging, pipe-laying activities on Oxford Road affords plenty of opportunity for scrutinising roadside signage. Whilst I was gazing at the queue of cars in front of me, listening to the Debussy string quartet, Katy was gazing at the car park entrance we were creeping past. Then I heard a little voice say "Curly C, A, R - CAR". This child is already reading words - even in upper case, which she's not supposed to know - at 2 1/2 years old!
