Congratulations to Henry Stephenson, Carl von Schreiber and David Hare, three stalwart vets in Australia who have attained their VetMFHom qualification. They have worked long and hard and did well during the last hurdle. This is now the beginning of a long journey of personal development and I wish them all well.

Last night, all night long, we held the clinical and oral parts of the Faculty of Homeopathy's veterinary homeopathic postgraduate examinations (VetMFHom) in Australia. Why all night? Well, I partook in and oversaw the examination process, by video link, from my desktop in the UK, while it was actually Monday in Australia. If today I look as if I've been up all night, it's OK, I really have.
