Thanks to Lord B. and all!  Emma came home on Wednesday, and it's been half smiles, half-disbelieving raised-eyebrows at the sleep dep. ever since.  As one of my mates texted me at the weekend by way of advice - "the first 2 weeks are like surviving combat".  I've budgeted for at least 6 weeks before anything makes any sense, and only slow improvement after that.  He's an unbelievable cutie though, although I would say that.  We'll see how it goes!

Greetings to the list - been a bit away from it all recently, but hopefully selling my big mixing desk in the next few weeks (thanks Killian Alexander, enjoy your room) - and returning after some wheeling and dealing with the resultant cash with a new planned stripped down setup which will enable writing more music faster in the very limited time I'm going to have, and seamless setup to go out live with.  Once I start getting some sleep, that is.
