I'm very intrigued by your subject line. It's left me rather baffled.

Have a good term. I hope it's not too hectic :)

Thanks for the good wishes - it will be hectic, but I'm hoping that I know what to do.

The Elephant and the Nun was the name of the festival. It refers to Elephant & Castle and Nunhead, the names of the bits of London just north and south of where I live. Slightly different park choices might have allowed the council to call it The Wall and the Witch, but this requires rather more change to Walworth and Dulwich, and doesn't sound as good anyway.

I think The Wall and the Witch would have been rather good as a name! But yeah, they'd have to have done a little more messing with the original names, to the extent that it's cheating really.

I hope the interviews went okay last week!
