Geography

 We Europeans like to mock Americans for their ignorance of Geography but I've got to admit that ahead of Sunday's talk I couldn't have placed Guatemala on a map except to say it was in the western hemisphere and somewhere south of the United States.

Neither Ailz nor I enjoyed Geography lessons at school. I don't rember much about mine apart from being required to draw contour lines- which I didn't understand and never got right- and having a teacher who was a stranger to soap and water. Most adult males in that era stank of tobacco (which I quite liked) but this fellow just stank.

Our plan to send Terry to Thailand in the care of Wendy and Mary has fallen through. Terry isn't well enough.

And where exactly is Thailand? "Erm, somewhere over there" (waves arm distractedly in the direction of Bexhill.)
