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.
