    Safely back from holiday - 178 miles, 5.5 hours, so rather tired but it's good to be back.

    Not everyone's reason, but mine😊
    The freezer is full of tomato sauces; punnets have been left outside and taken  and I've had enough! Two tomato plants have gone on the compost heap and two have been pruned until they're nearly bald (they're not long for this world either) -

    Just saw Trump and Boris as Spitting Image puppets on Andy Marr.... Shame it seems that Spitting Image is going to be aired on Britbox.

    Just become a Great Uncle.  My nephew's wife was very ill throughout the pregnancy but has had a lovely, healthy baby boy.  Mum and baby doing well.
    I don't expect anybody else to be interested but it's definitely fits RTBC for me. :D

    Congratulations @KT53 Definitely a RTBC.

    Thanks everybody.  I think for the new mum, apart from a healthy new baby, the main RTBC will be the end of the illness.  She actually weighed less toward the end of the pregnancy than she did before it, and was constantly totally exhausted.  She couldn't even have a shower without her husband being there in case she passed out.
    I don't know the official term, but she effectively had 'morning sickness' all day every day from the beginning of the pregnancy to the end.

    That's a really horrible illness KT53, I forget the name of it as well, the Duchess of Cambridge had it. My son's friend's wife was so ill, as you say, during her first pregnancy that she had to be hospitalised for nearly 9 months for 2nd one.

    Still, glad mum and babe are now doing well.
