‘I’ve got the word midwife written through my middle’
Not me, obviously, though it’s a profession that has always appealed. This article from The Guardian about Lynne Leyshon really brightened my Saturday morning.

RIP Laptop
AAAAAAAAAARGH! Complete disaster this week, I saw the blue screen of death on my laptop, and restarted it only to receive a hal.dll error which all my computer geek friends tell me means DOOM. 
Luckily we’ve managed to rescue most important things from the hard drive (well, I say ‘we’ but actually I mean Paul at www.pcconsulting.co.uk) and a system reinstall may still resurrect it, but it’s been pretty stressful.
I can still access my back-end (of the website that is) but processing orders is a slow and painful process, and I’m even having to do address labels by hand! AND of course this had to happen in holidays with both girls at home bouncing off walls because it’s raining AGAIN.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
And did I already say, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
So, please be patient if e-mails go unanswered, or orders are a bit slower than usual.
