Barely four weeks old, and already a record in several databases

The title refers to R******, who is now officially R******. Yes, we registered the birth at our local Registry Office. I still think we should have gone, "Ah, what the hell - let's call him Geoffrey Franklin M********, and to hell with it," (if there are *'s there, that's because my web-site does some weird auto filtering thing, in order to protect the identities of the innocent) and then everyone would be like, "How's R****** then?" and we'd be like, "Who? Oh, Geoff, yes, he's fine. He's called Geoff now. We changed our mind." But, no . . . it wasn't to be. R****** Charles M******** now officially exists. We also did a bit of shopping . . . thank-you cards (YES! They're coming! Honest!), birthday cards, some food, an N-type DC power socket for the lap-top (oh no, do I have to take it apart again?!) and something else, that I cannot talk about, or else that would spoil the surprise for someone, surely.

Thank the lord for articles like this (the comments are especially interesting) and, of course, this (yes, I know, I've linked here before). Perhaps gradually more and more of us will realise that global climate change is a stately, gentle thing that has little (or nothing) to do with human activity. To quote Voltaire - Men argue, nature acts. I should have it on my tombstone - historically, global changes in CO2 levels lag behind global temperature change by, on average, 800 years (well, that or the Voltaire quote); anyone who tries to have you believe otherwise is either misinformed or has an ulterior motive.
