Yesterday was day 17 of the City by the Sea's great telecommunications failure, and I finally came back on air. Phone and internet both. So that's all jolly good. Normal service will now resume.
All year, from December 2011 to the end of November, I have been keeping lists of baby names recorded in the local paper. I was going to make word clouds of them to put in my annual Christmas newsletter, but (1) they're too big and (2) I just don't have it in me to do a letter this year (I am having one of my fits of the glooms). Anyway, having kept these lists all year, I feel I should do something with them, so here they are (click on them to see the bigger version).
First names: Boys

First names: Girls

Middle names: Boys

Middle names: Girls

What do we learn from that? Not much.
Also, I think my Kindle is dying. It won't turn on without being charged for several hours; once it does turn on, I can't turn it off again. Hmph.
