Delivering

• I cut over 125 words today with my bare hands.
• At least I'm not a midwife in Scotland, though the headline "Catholic midwives must assist in abortion, judge rules" makes the ruling sound more nightmarish than it is. It's bad enough; what they have to do is "supervise staff involved in terminations" because "all medical terminations were moved to the labour ward in 2007". Who thought that was a good idea?
• I will have to midwife another grit-my-teeth article tomorrow; if anyone's reading this, please, pray for me.
