Business Bricks

I won’t write much here, but - and this explains why I’ve been awol from this blog the last few days - we have news: a bellisimo baby girl we’ve called Poppy - born by emergency c-section* at 5.27am on Fri 19 May in Brighton, and weighing in at 6lb 8oz. *her umbilical cord was about 1/3 the length it’s supposed to be, so instead of Jo’s contractions dilating the cervix, they were sort of yo-yoing Poppy up and down some canal or other. We have pictures of varying blurredness, taken mainly in theatre by the anaesthetist (sp?) and of young Pop surrounded by her inappropriate toys, Shaaark and Lenny. If you click on the photos, they enlarge. We’re home now, and I’m taking paternity leave on demand (a bit like feed on demand, and a perk of being self-employed/ work from home) for the next however many weeks.
