A clarification...

...for those that I texted yesterday letting them know that Caleb ? Simkins had been born, who may have concluded that we had been adversely affected by irregular sunspot activity.

The ? was intended to imply that we had not yet decided on a middle name, rather than to give the impression that we had gone all pop-star, and that the poor child would go through life with the unfortunate moniker of 'Caleb Question-mark Simkins'.

The middle-name conundrum is still, as yet, unresolved. After careful thought in bed (very quiet) this morning, I have narrowed it down to names with three (or maybe four) syllables, to give the complete name the correct meter.

I did consider putting the naming up for tender (you know 'Answers on a postcard to "Name That Baby Competition, PO Box WHO?, London, WA5 'I5 N4ME"), but I thought Libby may not be best pleased. We'd also be pathologically unable to use any name put forward by someone else (sorry mum!)

So, watch this space...

(well, not this space, but a similar looking space somewhere due north of this one)
