Up and running
Ten days back at work and the upheavals of the recent weeks appear to have been absorbed, albeit it with all the usual pain of such situations. Quite a few people are having to find new jobs and those of us that remain are feeling the squeeze as we strive to service our clients with what remains. But that's life and it's better than some of the alternatives that were (briefly, thankfully) on the cards.

Back at home, meanwhile, we're continuing to integrate little Henry into family life. His main contribution, frankly, is windy bubbles. That and making a variety of cute/funny faces as they work they way around the system. But it's all amusing and although he's not as settled as he was earlier on, we're still not exactly suffering infant Armageddon.
