A spot of R&R for the troops in the field. I guess we must be in Korea today – I’m sure I can spot some non-Japanese camp followers who’ve gatecrashed the party.

Sorry for the quality of these. It’s almost impossible to obtain good light for photography in our present abode. Too much direct sunlight – and its very frustrating.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Yes, the “Red Carpet” needs a quick going over with an iron, so does the “Green Carpet” in our other Samurai Display unit actually. I keep telling her about it, but you know what they’re like guys – selective hearing and all that....

Me and the Missus occasionally like to spend an evening going through her old history books. I can’t read the text of course, but I like looking at the pictures. Hmmm….bit like when I read books written in English actually, but I digress as usual.
Here’s some pictures I scanned out of one of her books last night. From what I can make out, it concerns some celebrated, and rather infamous, Medieval Paternity Case.
I think the Lawyer here is saying something like;
“It wuz them. Now go ‘way and sort it out yourselves – Oh, and my fee is in the post already”.
Aye, some things never change......

Looks to me like the Management’s remonstrating with these reprobates and inviting them to vacate the premises and take their disgusting habit with them.
Hey – I didn’t know they had no-smoking restaurants in medieval Kyoto.
Well I never did….???
Aye, Sir Walter Raleigh had a lot to answer for.

Well, he did actually. King James 1st (and 6th) had him executed for treason – but I think it was really for introducing the dreadful weed to England from Virginia.
Mind you, it could’ve been for sucking up to Queen Lizzie 1st (Kate Blanchette) with his cape yon time it had been raining in London. Or maybe it was revenge for Kate Blanchette having his Mum, Mary Queen of Scots, heid chopped off on some trumped-up charge of treason. Seems there was a lot of treason going on in those far-off days.
So anyway, it was “Tatties ower the side for Sir Wally”.
(Scottish slang – and a wee side reference to potatoes).
