Cally

... has *finally* landed.  I was beginning to think that she had caught the wrong plane, or headed to the wrong hospital - or, more likely, that she was really a teenage boy sequestered in his room, prefering solitude and sulking, to coming out to party with the rest of us.  And I have to say that her arrival gave good evidence for this conclusion.  She was clearly in no hurry to come and join us.  Reluctant in the extreme to be removed from her nice comfortable boudoir.  In the end she was forcibly removed with the aid of forceps and is now assimilated into The Family.

So welcome to Calliope Cecilia Elsie Gillard, born 14th March 2011 at around 11 am, weighing in at 3.7kg (or 8lbs and 3oz).  May she live long and prosper
