Sackcloth and ashes for us this week. The poor print quality in some copies of the Daily Post yesterday really spoiled the enjoyment of some readers on an important day, as we published the picture galleries for this year's Baby of the Year competition.
We have discussed the problem with the press hall chiefs, the problem has been identified and a solution proposed. Sadly it all feels a bit "closing the stable door after the horse has bolted" but at least we know how to avoid the problem in future.
In the meantime, my sincere apologies. On a more positive note, crystal clear images of all the baby pages and pictures can be seen at www.dailypost.co.uk. So keep on voting for your favourite tots!
You will have seen much coverage in the paper and on the website about the planned closure of 29 Gwynedd schools. The response from readers has been massive and this will certainly be an issue that figures highly on the news agenda in the coming weeks and months.
I'm feeling slightly delicate after a few farewell drinks last night for my deputy Gregg Fray, who is moving out to the United Arab Emirates to take a senior role on a new newspaper being launched in Abu Dhabi. The very best of luck to Gregg and wife Hannah as they embark on an exciting new venture.
Just imagine, though, being all that far away from Conwy mussels and Edwards sausages!
