Quick update

Got up. Anticipated telling off, or at least mild grumbling by wulfboy for filching his standard opening.

I have today off work, kiddies. Yes, it's true: I am skiving, buit it is a legitimate skive since I have burned off a day of annual leave to achieve it. On Thursday it looked for a while that I might not be able to take either Friday or today off as planned (nipped up to Shropshire for Great-Niece's 2nd birthday, see, so need recovery time). Unable to do anything real about the economiuc climate, Ministers have gone into damn the long term consequences, let's bee seen to be doing something and try to get re-elected mode. It is sad, tiring and a very busy experience.

So, anyway, where are we? Oh yes, many congratulations and hugs and stuff to caffeine_fairy and chomper99 on the safe arrival of young Zoltan yesterday morning. We await official confirmation of the baby's name, but for the time being, Mother and future Emperor of the World are doing fine, I believe.

Right. I think I shall nip off and investigate food. Hmm. Is it late breakfast or early brunch?
