- How on Earth did I get HERE ? Lots of chances and changes, and it seems, after all that, I had a 'psychic' life as well. What I find strangest of all is that the 'otherside' has plenty of room, countryside and towns, weather and light, oh, and quite a few people who have no idea of where they really are.
Is that really you? Whats it like?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's me, or was me. Shore party H.M.S. Endurance circa 1970. Clear atmosphere so very hot sun, and yet temperatures below freezing. Monumental scenery, but a total absense of green. Lots of snow, perfectly clear water, and every colour of icebergs in the sunshine, on 20 hour daylight days. Even though the rum ration had stopped for the Royal Navy by this time, The British Antarctic Survey still had barrels of the stuff they didn't know what to do with, so there was some irregular ship to shore trading that went on. That was nice !
