I don't have anything to say.

Hey, look - a camel.

He was all covered in wee.

There's no way to describe the smell of a camel. 'Really quite bad' might begin to cover it, but it just isn't enough. We brought home a bottle of boukha, which is made of figs, but we refer to it as 'distilled camel'. Yes, it's that mingy.

Having discovered that I have only read eight of the 100 greatest novels, as listed by Time Magazine (link via bluishorange), I am feeling incredibly inadequate and quite thick, so I must finish Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell ASAP. Silence, please.
