Considering making the ‘holding’ directory ‘password protected. It wouldn’t make a lot of difference to anyone who *really* wanted to get in, or who searched via Google for instance since it’s not that easy to prevent images being viewed on an open server, but it would make casual visitors slow down.

Long conversation with the daughter in the UK this morning via ‘chat’. A week or so ago she’d gone to her GP about a problem with one of the kids and after chatting to her had referred *her* to a psychiatrist.
