Throw Those Curtains Wide

With the arrival of a new baby plus Olivia failing to get to grips with the transition out of BST, I've had a week and a half of heavily disrupted sleep. I had every intention of try to stay up and watch the elections last night, but by nine o'clock, I was unable keep my eyes open, and reluctantly, I went to bed.

I've never been so delighted to have been woken up at five in the morning. There's lots ahead, but for now, I'll keep it simple: well done, America!

So Here I Am Once More...

Not that it looks that way now, due to other posts added from elsewhere retrospectively, but the first significant post I ever put on this blog (the actual first was a two sentence intro post) was about the US in 2004, and the second was to say, 'Oh bugger!'

Here we are again. I'm really hoping I won't be writing another post saying, 'Oh bugger!' tomorrow. To my American friends, I've got my fingers crossed for you all.

At the moment it looks good.
