Letters from the road

Others letters
Topic: Undefined

Time for a cat Picture. Those of you that are my Facebook friends know what that means. When i can't get into my garage anymore I sometimes have a clean up. Being a bit of a hoarder, It's full of Junk some of it decades old. One of the things I found was a box of old letters from 85 to 92.  These are ones people have written to me. Some of them are probably only of interest to the people who wrote them. They talk about what they were doing while I was off swanning around the globe. There are a couple of Wizzas from my time in Antarctica, a few from my Mum on her one overseas trip, and a couple from friends I met overseas sent to me in Oz. The last lot are from a friend to me pretty much documenting our failed relationship. Most of them are mundane, I seemed to get a fair bit of ribbing about all sorts of subjects, from penguin sex to my choice of football team. Some are fantastically amusing. They are all one sided conversations, the other half was pretty much what you see in this blog, sometimes a bit more personal. The art of letter writing seems to have passed into history, no 20 year old is going to look back on their WhatsApp texts in forty years on. This may be a good thing, but I enjoyed rereading them. Even the ones that made me a  bit sad.  Click the cat pic or this link to head off there.
