A nice lady brings round coffee and tea
To fortify us as we wait.
Another test is done,
Various fluids are administered.

We reach home.
We are very tired,
But very relieved. Read more of this blog post »

Brilliant! A marvellous book. A fascinating journey through the etymology of hundreds of words, with some lost words which deserve a return to our vocabularies. I recommend it to anyone who has ever pondered: "Where did that word come from?" . ...more |

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
