Busy week

As you can tell, my first week at the Department of Health has been a busy one - hence limited posts. So far this week I have learned:
  • "Jaffa cakes contain lots of energy but only 1g of fat. That is why they are recommended by sports nutritionists" (this particular piece of information was gleaned from the back of the pack).
  • This season, the smart professional lady will be wearing dog-tooth check; red, particularly on Fridays; tailoring; bias-cut skirts; velvet; fur trim. Although hopefully not all at once.
  • Young men from Haslemere are the most unpleasant creatures on earth (based upon a survey sample of one).
  • What happened to Mrs Casaubon and Mr Ladislaw.

I hope next week is as profitable.

Well? what did happen to Mrs Casaubon and Mr Ladislaw? You really can't whet the reader's appetite like that and then not follow through with the details!!!! And I would love to know what the young man from Halsemere did or said? But he can't possibly be the most unpleasant as that honour is reserved for a certain young man who works in Weybridge Tesco Express!!!

You don't think I'm going to give it away that easily, do you??? I had to read all 877 pages of Middlemarch to find out what happened to them. You have to EARN that kind of knowledge...
