Goog for you, Mark! My good news is that I have a light exam schedule. We never know what we'll be asked to do in June until the end of May. Apart from correcting 90 exam papers (which was scheduled), I only have four days of oral exams. I'm off for a pub crawl now with my colleagues. And what fantastic weather we're having!

Thanks Ann, Mark, John, Andrew. : )

Ann, I of course don't mind that you've downloaded it.

Default Extra Special Good News

After four stressful days in hospital, my younger daughter finally underwent a Caesarean this morning, and...

IT'S A BOY!!!!!! He was 10lbs 12oz, () which rather explains the need for the C Section.

I'm relieved that all is well for my daughter and her husband as this is their first baby, and I'm feeling very emotional (blubbering even as I write this!), ...but I'm ecstatic, naturally, and going to visit them all soon.

Jayne

Yes, Jayne - treat yourself to a well-deserved blubber and have a little read of John's "Boy Baby" poem, soon to be pruned from Met. (I must confess when I saw it first on D&A I thought it was a response to the news that, from the sidelines, we've all been waiting for.)

I'm raising a glass (of Australian Shiraz) to the babe and wishing all good things for the new parents.

And, just for you, I'll break the habit of lifetime - wait for it -

Wonderful news, Jayne. That's a big boy! With almost eleven pounds to work with, your daughter could have made twins.
