Volks!

First off an apology for anyone who has been trying to reach me over the
last few days - I have been rather pre-occupied with the birth of our second
child, Loraine who was born on Monday morning at 05:16 weighing in at 3.6kg
and measuring up to 55cm.  Both H�l�ne (my wife) and Loraine are doing quite
well and have returned from the hospital after only a 24h visit.  Dad and
our first child Richard are doing quite well too!  This it was one of the
quickest births I have heard of with everything starting at about 02:45 that
morning when my wife first woke up - I guess it sort of makes up for the 32h
labour with our first child!

Anyhow, things are slowly getting back to normal here - about as normal as
they are going to get from this point on at least!  I will be wrapping up
return phone calls and emails by tomorrow afternoon to those people who have
tried to contact me.
