Uncle Tom Cobbleigh...

Apparently, your humble Devil is now an uncle, with my brother's wife giving birth to a baby girl at about ten past eight this evening. Mother and baby doing fine, and little brother ridiculously excited.

Remember, remember, the second of January...

Anyway, back to the office tomorrow for another couple of months of frenzied work...
