Bah. I've been sleeping really badly for about two weeks now. It's getting to the point where I'm about to start randomly altering environmental conditions in my bedroom, one by one, until one of them has an effect. I'll start with temperature, I think, move on to humidity, then try to figure out how to do pressure. I just hope I get a result before I get all the way down the list to atmospheric custard concentration.

That one always annoyed me. The recession line was the first thing I thought of that rhymed and scanned sensibly, but ten minutes after I sent it to you I realised that "see if it cures your depression" would be much better since it's actually something one might (just about) attempt to do by application of custard! :-) Esprit d'escalier strikes again...

But that would make far too much sense! I much prefer the implication that I could fit all the custard in the world inside me and thus send the economy into a decline.
