It is my duty as a supplier of services to inform my clients of the upcoming birth of my first son, who is due to pop out of the dark, wet and crowded inside of my beloved Petra from vycvikkone.cz on 1 April this year.
His single first name will be Fred because it will go well with the names of my two daughters Nora and Ada (named after Nora Batty and what I said when I learned that my second child was also to be of the female persuasion,* respectively).
Depending on the circumstances, I will take more or less time off around and after the birth.

* Foreigners might not know that the terms ****'n Nora and ****'n Adaᶧ are common slang in England and adjacent lands, and I've noticed that ****'n Fred has become a household curse in certain circles.
ᶧ My positive feelings towards the name Ada must have been influenced by the character of Ada Lovelace, vague familiarity with the existence of the programming language Ada and extensive consumership of the music of the group Fascinating Aida. I was also given, at the age of three, my first Lego set by a dear relative referred to as ‘Aunty Aida’, which has played a big part in what I am today. Thank you, Aunty Aida.
