A moment's silence, please. Dr. Ted Codd passed away last week.

I'd like to second Andy here - RDBMSes have been my bread and butter for years. Thanks, Dr. Codd.

My girls and their cousins, Izzy & Lucy, were playing families this weekend. Freja was the mummy, as usual, and Ella was 'the teenager'.

Ella was carting a doll around, and I asked her whether it was her little sister.

"No, this is my baby," she said.

"Who is the daddy?" asked my Auntie Rachel (my sister).

"We don't know who the daddy is - I've got loads of boyfriends."

That's it - no boyfriends for my girls.
