Plymouth Hoe (Ho, Ho)

MrsDroog and I are in Plymouth.

I just had to revisit the statue of Drake. I hadn't seen it since I was a boy, when I accidentally misrepresented the fact of his aplomb upon being advised of the approach of the Spanish Armada. He calmly completed his game of bowls before putting to sea and giving the enemy a serious beating and did not, as I said in a History essay in the 1960s, 'continue playing with his balls until he was finished.'

Oh, the innocence of childhood.
