My class of one and I went for a walk today. We were looking for Shapes that resembled letters. Whilst we were out we saw a number of suitable candidates. We also saw a tree growing on the side of a building and a squirrel. The tree was probably around 3 metres tall and its roots were clinging to the bricks. It was about 6 metres up from the ground, but not quite at the top of the building. There are trees here in India that grow really quickly. Some English settlements that were abandoned at the turn of the last century (1900s) now look like ancient ruins. This building has been here less than sixty years. Possibly less than that.
The squirrel was quite happily minding its own business, zipping here and there. We were right in the middle of the square.
The drive back to my new apartment takes me along a motorway that points directly towards the Himalayas. Its just like you would be pointing West to drive to the Ranges. It seems just as close. I could be wrong. They are quite a lot bigger than our ranges. Still, I didin’t think I was that close.
