I have just finished reading journal 43, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
My highlights:
Laughing out loud at the quotes pulled from a certain anecdotage.... "the renown tardiness of pigs" for example. I could see what he meant with them all though, and it was a simple case of awkward phrasing or word choices, though the last one about the Queen Elizabeth family and the Rubadub mystery had me scratching my head.
The article from Nurse I thought was wonderful, as a children's nurse I know just how valuable those sort of murals are in distracting a child from a their illness or treatment. Raigmore hospital's children's ward (Inverness) has murals in all of the bays, and treatment rooms and even on the windows. Sadly, I didn't spot any Blyton characters.
I also enjoyed the Eligible Batchelor, although the constant capitalisation of words made it very difficult to read!
I'll stop now, as I could probably continue listing the whole contents!
