Ian,

Going to bed early is bad for you. Makes you get up in the middle of the
night.

Or am I being SOC and it's just list delivery delays.

Paul :-)

p.s. Thanks for the encouraging comments but the red-eye piccie was of
daughter #3, tiddler Harriet(9). (Or Tadpole as we called her when she fell
into a pond and came out smelling of ...well...pond. She was highly
indignant.)

p.p.s. Just got back from taking the whole brood to see 'The Two Towers'
at the flicks. Excellent.
