(This was a surprising find. Anyone who came to see John Finnemore's Souvenir Cabin last year might recognise it as the move Lawry Lewin and I employed to hoist John high into the air at the end of Act One, where "high into the air" is represented by figure 6.)

BONUS ROUND - Famous Receptionists of Filmland!
An insufficient tribute to these highly-tasked human interfaces, I know, but I ended up making two rounds for last night's quiz so here is our gentle opener: No multiple choice this time, no titles to match, and some usual suspects. All you have to do is name the film from the receptionist. Answers as ever will be posted in the comments...

More filler from "The Concise Home Doctor"
Well that didn't take long.
"Hi!"
I thought for a second that might be The Concise Home Doctor she was lifting, then remembered that's not how time works. Incidentally, something incredibly important and exciting did actually happen in medicine today according to Helen Czerski so great!

STUFFINESS: Guidance and support
Apologies to all sufferers of stuffiness for how little guidance or support is actually in this post, but with these illustrations from The Concise Home Doctor (Volume 1: ABA-HAN) I am finally back on schedule to post a thing a day throughout 2020! I don't know if I'll stop next year, but in the meantime if I find myself falling behind again I shall return to this volume immediately for content irrespective of context because these pictures are just the tip of the sootberg, baby.
