We are having problems with the user log ins this morning. Several users have logged in with their own user name and password, and the system has shown them as someone else.

Update: the problem should be fixed, sorry about that!

I am sorry I have not been able to post much this week, and I will not be able to post at all today. Jessica will be reviewing some Annick Goutal roses tomorrow, and things will be back to normal on Saturday, starting with an open thread poll.

Just a quick note to say that this coming weekend, Jill be hosting a repeat of last year's popular Haiku challenge. Sharpen your pencils! The rules will be the same: pick a perfume, write a haiku about it using the simplified English form (three lines, the first line with five syllables, the second line with seven syllables and the third line with five syllables).

And if you have a great idea for a poll topic, do leave a comment!
