Writing today

Scott's last letter

We are supposed to write a letter to Somebody in your family and we pretend we are the explorer Robert Scott.


The letter starts:
To my widow,
Dearest Darling – we are in a very tight corner and I have doubts of pulling through – In our short lunch hours I take advantage of a very small measure of warmth to write letters preparatory to a possible end – the first is naturally to you on whom my thought mostly dwell waking or sleeping – if anything happens to me I shall like you to know how much you have meant to me and that pleasant recollections are with me as I depart.

Off topic conversation with Ihia and Seyn.

Yesterday Mr. Betts had a talk with Seyn and Ihia about ISIS and the USA. Below is a table comparing New Zealand and USA's armed forces.

Go here if you want to find other countries to compare. NZ spends 1.8 billion dollars a year on its military USA spends 600 billion dollars. Is it money well spent?
