The Ink-Pot and the Palette

I know what you mean about your sister. My siblings both live more than two hours drive away, and my nearest friend is an hour and a half away by train. It does make a difference.

I have watched precisely one scene of Mad Men and loathed it. I understand that that's probably not unintentional on the part of the writers, but still it's not something I want to spend time on. It's a highly polished cockroach of a show. Eye-catching shine. Get the feck away from me.

Thank goodness you have less than a year to go until you are a free woman. That is marvellous!
