That's Dad Matt with four year old Joshua and brand new Noah. I'm told he has the required big feet and hands ( just like his bro and dad) and so is destined to grow big and tall, and inevitably become a great basketball player. Congrats to the whole family!
...with best wishes from Anne Diamond.
I was asking today - is modern technology teaching us all to be lazy spellers? New research suggests it is - because of the ubiquitous spell checker. But then, thirty years ago we were all worried that the new whizz bang invention called the calculator was going to turn us into a culture that could no longer add up.
Come to think of it - perhaps that has happened! The simplest of sums now, and I reach for the mobile phone's calculator app....
But how about this? Our gadget guy on BBC Radio Berkshire, Fevzi Turkalp, says that most of our household gadgets will be voice activated within just a few years. And that includes the self-driving car. Apparently Google have already pioneered a self-driving Prius. One of the things holding up the whole technology is the legal side of things. If you were to have an accident in a self-driving car, who would be liable? The car manufacturer, the owner of the software or you?
My son is at the moment costing me a small fortune in driving lessons. Perhaps he should just wait for the day (supposedly soon) when he can sit in the car and simply ask it to go to his destination.
I personally cannot wait!
So I'm off to sit in an X-ray department, hopefully not all afternoon.
So have a great weekend - and let me wish jolly good luck to all my gardening friends in Berkshire who're competing at the Chelsea Flower Show next week.
It's the most prestigious event of the gardening calendar, with over 500 exhibitors chasing a Gold medal - and on Monday you can follow the success of Berkshire's designers and growers at the 99th RHS Chelsea flower show as my programme comes live from the show ground with Sarah Walker and Ady Williams.
They will be there following the judges on their tour and meeting the celebrities on preview day.
That's Monday morning from 10am On BBC Radio Berkshire
