Congratulations are definitely due to my lovely friend, J and her hubby A on the birth of little baby M on Monday – a little brother for their son, J. We’d arranged to meet up for lunch on the Monday when I was in the UK but then J didn’t answer my text about where to meet – I thought it was strange, but ever polite, she sent a text later saying ‘sorry I missed lunch, was having baby’, which, when you think about it, was as good a reason as any to miss lunch.
