We took last week off for visiting, mostly to see my new granddaughter, who has got me thinking about how kids not only read books but inspire them by with the things they do.

That seems to link with the book I'm listening to at the moment - Wise Animals: How Technology Has Made Us What We Are by Tom Chatfield

We also went to the Abba Voyage "Hologram" show in London, which was spectacular, but I was a bit distracted, trying to work out how they did it!
