Just saw the Princess Bride again last night on BBC - pit of despair, so the slough of despond must have been somewhere else. What an excellent film. I would like to re-see Master and Commander, of pun and pickpocket fame, too.

Rounding the bend into week 2. Don't flink (feel/think, I just made that up) that I'll be safe in another week, but hey, they do do really good work here. It would be stellar if they could get their story straight - I *did* take my bedside lamp-y thing in yesterday morning to be recharged, but then when I wanted to go to bed, none of the night staff knew *where* it was being charged.

Looked it up - slough of despond was Pilgrim's Progress, which I have never read so I wonder where I read or heard of it. I would have guessed Phantom Tollbooth but that was the Doldrums now that I think about it.

You folks and folkies all do great work too, with me I mean, not that it's work, of course, I know you love me. Known that for years. That's why I'm here, in many senses (yeah, I know, mostly visual, but hey nonny nonny)...
