the situation has developed, not necessarily to our advantage. emperor hirohito

such was my rest by the sea/ a surfeit of excess bought tides of malaise in which i sputtered and gasped vainly/ i am slowly recovering and have learned to think twice before i decide to take a holiday of any kind/

"...have learned to think twice before I decide to take a holiday of any kind."

In the words of Withnail (or was it I?), "We've gone on holiday by mistake!!"

I will have to check that one out. It has been recommended to me for a while. I quote Withnail and I all the time, much to people's bewilderment, especially in this foul and uncultured country.

marvelous. h'ever, the british, at least the entities i encounter, are in no wise cultured. in fact there seems to be globe-wide antipathy toward the arts (well, what is decent in them at least - one only has to read the minor journals to realise the 'intellectuals' who run them base their decisions on personal taste rather than professional opinion). keep fighting the good fight!
