With atlases I'm happier to start with X-marks-the-spot according to the internet, then work out from the spot with a nice, big, papery atlas (nice description of your bookshelf, by the way), however I am but one kettle in the six-plus billion who inhabit the earth so perhaps there are six billion different ways of approaching this.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps what really irked me was that this chappy had a whole afternoon free to study his atlas... lucky bastard.Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-40776022003580684392009-02-20T12:59:00.000+11:002009-02-20T12:59:00.000+11:00Nothing wrong with getting the big atlas down from...Nothing wrong with getting the big atlas down from the tall deep bookshelf, laying it out on a table or one's lap and diving in for a long peruse.

It's a strange but true scientific fact that snowflakes, when amassed outside galleries waiting for the doors to open at 9am, do indeed jostle and do not, indeed, melt. Forget all the science you learnt at school.<BR/><BR/>There appears to be a Vauville in both California and France - something I've learned today!<BR/><BR/>As for the last matter - well! Who can imagine what you thought ;)Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-60103845032273614912009-02-01T14:32:00.000+11:002009-02-01T14:32:00.000+11:00Things I have learned today...Snowflakes don't mel...Things I have learned today...<BR/><BR/>Snowflakes don't melt when jostled at 9 a.m.<BR/><BR/>Vauville is not a town in central California where they grow artichokes.<BR/><BR/>Pulling the piss doesn't mean what I thought (naughty girl me).Laura Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277887372939757081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-24335307918796830022009-01-30T15:45:00.000+11:002009-01-30T15:45:00.000+11:00Anon!
