A Fortnight
A Fortnight

Tomorrow is the big day when I go in for the next part of the procedure (they don't call it an operation) begun two weeks ago. As a consequence, I may not be around in the morning. Such is life and the open endedness of things.

In the meantime, reflect on this: two weeks in the USA is a fortnight in Britain. And the fortnight refers to the fact that it's fourteen nights. Sorta medieval contraction.
