Michael asked nicely if I would get the relief map of Tasmania down off the wall. He then played with it for about an hour. Note: even when it is face down he can name the lakes and islands by the inverted flat bits/bumps. Hey - do you like what I'm doing these days with the little writing?

He estat 16 dies a Tasmània. Hi he estat tant bé i tranquil·la que sembla que m’hi hagi quedat més temps. Han estat dues setmanes de pau i bons aliments a la Granja de la Kat i en Paul Mólnar. Viuen una hora al sud des de Hobart, a cinc minuts a peu de Dover. [...]
