Hi everyone,
Rebecca West will be taking a short medical leave for the next two weeks. Her ailment is not serious and she is expected to make a full recovery, but it's significant enough that a leave is definitely for the best.
Our friend Kaitlin McNabb will be subbing for RW in the meantime.
My love and support goes out to my partner Rebecca and her family as she convolesces.
Take care, RW.
Be well and come back soon.
We'll miss you, Rebecca.
Thanks for the intro and update Catchfire.
Looking forward to covering on babble, and most definitely wishing Rebecca West a speedy recovery 
..best wishes rebecca!
..and welcome kaitlin!
Hurry back safe and sound, Rebecca! And don't delay your convalescence by reading this stuff while you're away.
Get well soon RW
Best wishes, Rebecca.
Get well soon Miss West
Be well, Rebecca. May be taking an extended break myself if I can get out of the country by end of summer as planned. Here, listen to some cool tunes while convalescing.
Thank you Fidel, and many thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts. Kaitlin, thank you so much for filling in for me.
Any time Rebecca West! I hope you are doing well!
.
Best wishes for a complete recovery, RW.
