Some blogworthy news

Firstly, my warmest and most heartfelt congratulations to John and Fiona on the birth of baby Anna Elizabeth today.



Fiona is the author of Trying to Conceive and blogger over at http://www.makingbabies.ie. I was lucky enough to be at the book launch.

John also blogs and I can only imagine how much this baby will mean to them. I'm thrilled for the family, having read the book (it's very interesting) and the blog. The pictures are here.

Secondly, a reminder that the Dublin Writer's Festival is on this weekend.

• Beaut.ie have free tickets for brunch with Kathy Lette
• Darren has free tickets to see Tom Stoppard

You can see the full programme online here or just click above for a handy guide to the two days.

Thirdly, Alexia's back and making up for lost time. Hooray!
