births and rebirths

A big congratulations to both Zoe and the Armaniac on the birth of their new babies! Fantastic news for them and I wish them all the best.
Me, I've got a new baby of sorts too. Out of the blue recently, I received some money owing to me that I'd written off. So I've bought myself a new computer. And I can't explain to you the exhilarating feeling of being in sheer technological heaven. I'm still getting it all up and running (and having to use my old computer while waiting for Telstra to provision my phone for broadband, which seems to take about a century or so). But it means that I'm back in the game, or will be very soon. Meanwhile, thanks for checking in now and then.
