2 Now what about a Traveller in the Black Hills? You've been there two weeks. There have been reports. I wonder now about the views, first views, which have been forming in the Traveller's mind. What sense, I wonder, does the Traveller make of it all. The absence of the language will have been a barrier. In particular, if one can't read the papers or talk about matters other than the weather and the price of corn, then it's difficult to figure out what's going on (inside the heads). Of course, observation can help when what is observed makes an unambiguous statement. So, all such unrooted observations aside, I wonder what sense you're making of it all. Probably, South Grinstead is far from East Grinstead?
3 However, what economic activity have you witnessed or heard about. What is in the fields which surround the house-in-the-fields? I wonder how people earn their income; what comprise the exports from the Black Hills. And so on. (And why was there a British embassy in the town which you visited?)
3.1 Otherwise, I read a piece in The Times today about the results of the Norwegian general election. Ask Karstein what he makes of it?
4 News from the parish: (i) At the AGM and SGM I asked for comments, observations by e-mail (or letter or telephone). I had a long e-mail from Muriel Cheeseman today. What a useful piece of kit is e-mail. She was able to set out her question and comments in full, whilst I was not burdened with the need to remember as she spoke. I replied as soon as I had read. (ii) Tomorrow, Liam and I will play at Forest Row. I've asked him to collect me at 1855, so that we will be in good time. He'll just have to postpone his pudding. (iii) For the present, I think it's time for a game of computer bridge, and then to bed with War and Peace.
