I'm so full of admiration. I rejected the concept for January as it's the most depressing month of all here in London, and I thought about February, when it's lighter and shorter. But, in the end, being stuck in prison here with no end in sight is depressing enough as it is, without being able to drown my sorrows at the weekend.
