Falklands blog for Thursday March 14 2013
Walking
Walking is good. Why are lots of people in their cars? A 10 min walk to work with a slight stopover to tuft a nice big moggie; friendly and very fluffy. Lots of nice cats around. Only seen 2 dogs – all under restraint. The cats have the run of the place here.
Widdershins
Whoa! Beautiful morning with the sun already high at 07.50, rising in the East. To my right is the harbour, heading west. Nearly at the top of the rise, with most of the houses downhill, or north. A bit of a start, with the sun in the Southern Hemisphere going the ‘wrong’ way around ie anticlockwise. Now, before clocks, the name was and continues to be widdershins
Is the pope an Argentinian?
It seems that he is. Perhaps he does not like Ms Kirchner?
Stupid question of the day from the Sky reporter – will the pope be welcome in the Falklands and would you roll out the red carpet for him.
— yes, and I’m afraid that I don’t think we have a red carpet
