I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I have been, perfect trip - day-return with one night in a flotel and drinks with Sir Rex. Hardly saw any of the camp as the windows on the bus were covered in red mud.

What I did notice were the Argentinian sangars on the approaches to Stanley. They were so obvious, even a bunch of cadets would have done better. They had built them using local stone but instead of keeping the dirty side up then presented the clean, shiny side towards the threat. Looked like new brick walls with no realistic concealment.
