My Life on a Plate

Where in the World?

A long time back I remember PlannerDan saying he'd like to have a world map so he could pinpoint where all his friends at WDC lived. I thought this a brilliant idea and searched the shops for months for a decent map of the world, but to no avail.

I recently felt the urge again as I also want to track my son's travels but no world maps seem available in shops.

Yesterday a huge flat package arrived at my home and I was puzzled to say the least. I wondered if I'd maybe ordered something weird and wonderful off e-bay in one of my drunken stupours.

But no, my sister who is a school secretary had ordered a great big map of the world for me out of one of the educational catalogues. I have a set of little flags to track my sons journey and I bought some map pins today to mark where my WDC friends live.

So, if you drop by today would you mind leaving me the name of the town/city/state where you live so I can stick a pin in you? Obviously not every tiny place in the world is on the map so the nearest big place will do. I promise I won't stalk you.

I was hopeless at Geography in school and never really caught up with my lack of knowledge. But 'hands on' learning is something I came to realise works best. Knowing 'real' people are living their lives or travelling in these places captures my interest. I'm really enjoying studying my map and will look forward to filling all the details in.

Thanks in advance for your help - you may educate this geography ignoranus yet.

Today the world...tomorrow the universe...next year who knows? Mua hah hah hah.
