It was a wierd feeling, I didn't expect to know anything like that, strange how you just sense these things in a way!
BRILLIANT MM! Thats it, you have the intuition. Its hard to explain isnt it? but you just kinda know see told you you were made for this job!

Have you got the smell thing yet? I can smell a different smell just before the vertex becomes visible for the first time.... I thought everyone did but it seems there are only a few of us....

It is very hard to explain, I don't want to come across as a 'know it all' because there is now way on earth that I do. But I just knew without understanding how or why what the outcome would be. Very wierd, but really good to. Lol Josie, it seems silly to say so early on, but I feel at home on the delivery unit, almost as if it is where I belong, told you it was silly lol.

No, I didn't notice the smell, or if I did I didn't realise, maybe that will come next time.

This is what I was thinking, but didn't feel I could say anything for fear of over stepping the mark so to speak.
