It's been so quiet in here lately, I thought everyone was taking their daily ration of prune juice.

Good evening Barry
You've lost me?
Unless you mean Wordsworth


I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Kind regards Stephen

Carry on Nurse, classic carry on nonsense*. The only one I have in my collection is Carry on Sergeant, which for some reason I never saw in the theatre.

*The (obnoxious) patient varsed was Kenneth Williams. I still remember the grin on Matron's (Hattie Jacques) face.

Cheers Bazza

Yes. And no matter how good Hattie Jacques was, I still think her grin in that scene was a natural one.

Good luck
