Tomorrow I enter a two and a half week period of self-imposed lobotomy.
I'm working the evening shift.
3pm to 9pm more or less every night for the next 17 days.
Home at 9.30 - then an evening of eat, slob, sleep.
Bed at 3.30, up at 11ish.
Sit about slobbing and eating then off to work at 2.30.
For 17 days.

Just got my big Christmas tin of Quality Street from underneath the bed.
Like a great case of glittering jewels!

Just watched it.
Bloody marvellous.
It's as if Charles Dickens had written It's a Wonderful Life.

Here am I, sweating, sick, and hot,
And there the shadowed waters fresh
Lean up to embrace the naked flesh.
Temperamentvoll German Jews
Drink beer around; -- and there the dews
Are soft beneath a morn of gold.
Here tulips bloom as they are told;
Unkempt about those hedges blows
An English unofficial rose

Somewhere there's another land
Different from this world below.
Far more mercifully planned
Than the cruel place we know.
Innocence and peace are there.
All is good that is desired.
Faces there are always fair.
Love grows never old nor tired.

We shall never find that lovely land of Might-Have-Been.
I shall never be your king nor you shall be my queen.
