Dead skin is shed at a rate equal to the size of Wales (2 billion whales approx.) every day
Every so often facts are thrown around comparing something to the size of Wales per day.
Does anyone really know how big Wales is though? (not an intentional slur on Wales by the way, more on the people banding such statistics around)
And why do so many things happen that are the size of Wales?
Is there a connection?
Doubtful, at best..
I don’t have the exact figures to hand but it could well be that a larger amount of skin is shed per day.
If I knew how big Wales was it might be a start.. Or how big whales were..
Makes for pretty grim reading – where does all this excess skin go?
Is there someone in charge of monitoring dead skin levels across the globe, in case it reaches a problematic high?
Maybe the day will come when the skin shed count will feature on the weather, alongside the pollen count, sex factor and bullshitting index for the day.
Then again, maybe not..
It’s been said that a blog title should always be relevant with regards to the post’s content. That is the justification for the above paragraph.
With that out the way, a heavily overdue update on my travels can now begin.
It has been a long time since an update, but like buses or a case of bad diarrhoea, these things tend to come all at once.. Unlike buses but like diarrhoea, words have eluded me (a good thing in the case of diarrhoea) and the habit of writing has slipped.
The photos have not however, and a wealth of lush images will be wending their way onto these screens over the next few posts.
About 10 galleries worth..
Imagine a boring family slide show from days gone by and transpose in the internet.
Then imagine that, times ten!
That makes ten slide shows.. Without the sliding..
It was hard knowing where to begin, so I start with what I know best..
Waffle.
Then where I left off seemed the next logical step.
Mexico is a long way away now, a happy memory.
Many places have passed me by since and another whole continent has drifted out of the everyday into yesterday.
Not that much has been written about Mexico even..
Hmmm, it has been a long time!
Time to catch up and flashback to the green, white and red chilli fires of Mexico, following on from the post “A fleeting fast forward before rewinding back” where I had just arrived in Vallavolid and was about to embark on a tour of Mayan Mexico in the Yucatan, en route to Mexico City in time for Independence Day..
A taste of things to come:
