Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose (is a)

Oh, Gertrude Stein. Well, most folk know by now that Christine returns to work today, completing her maternity leave, which means I'm home full-time with our wee Rose (who turns a year old in two and a half weeks).

Which means: my months of intense half-days attempting to complete projects, meet deadlines and various other schemes and scrambles have been building up to this. Which means: I might take slightly more time to complete reviews, answer emails, and other such things. If  you are expecting such, be patient, please.

And shush: Rose and I are reading and re-reading.
