sprogging all over the world

Congratulations to Meredith and Martin on the safe arrival of Rosa; belated congrats to Merridy and Stuart on the slightly early arrival Timothy. And happy sprog-poppin' thoughts to my sister Ruth, in Sydney, due on St Patrick's day but still, last we heard, in pod.
This is probably some sort of NZ litcrit heresy, but I'm not getting on with the Frank Sargeson short stories I mooched at all. I know he's supposed to be one of our finest and most nuanced short story writers but I just find him dry, ball-less, and both mannered and uninflected, if it's possible to be both of those things. Or maybe I've spent too many years ODing on the hysterical francophone feminists.
