Kipling quote of the day

fivemack[from the poem after How the Camel got his Hump in the Jungle Book]
...
Kiddies and grown-ups toooo,
If we haven't enough to doooo
We get the hump — camelious hump —
The hump that is black and blue
...
The cure for this ill is not to sit still,
Or frowst with a book by the fire,
But to take a large hoe and a shovel also,
And dig till you gently perspire.
And then you will find that the sun and the wind,
And the Djinn of the Garden too,
Have lifted the hump — the horrible hump —
The hump that is black and blue.
But there's precious little gardening to be done in Cambridge in mid-January – it's much more a time to sit back and watch the bulbs come up – so I went swimming instead.
Speaking of which, I'm back in Cambridge. All but 30 of the 4270 photos made it back with me, though organising them is going to be a troublesome task. Still notking employed.

Re gardening, this was the time when I was supposed to get rid of the weed paradise that was my lawn and prepare it for ultimate seeding in march. Never got around to it, which is why my weeds got happier and happier every year.
