There are a few gods who are powerful but not so evil.  11-15 are in Janet's room.  16 - 20 are in Dad's room.  1   China [b] 1,403,583,800 18.0% Heaven fairy visiting her mortal lover.  She doesn't realise that he died thousands of years ago.  Front door 2   India [c] 1,364,844,721 17.5% A book about two Indian lovers, a Bollywood Love Story Movie.  3   United States [d] 329,974,375 4.23% TV Dr Octopus is fighting Kali      4   Indonesia 269,603,400 3.46% Voldemort in the Indonesian Cupboard because the clothes are from Indonesia and Voldemort is hiding there, it's the last place anyone will look.  5   Pakistan [e

Tanya's Memory Palace Begins

Image
This is a Tanya and Janet project. We started last week, Sunday 12th July. But we've been thinking about it for a long time. Now all the school work is done, we are ready.  We are starting with the Wikipedia list of countries by population.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population And Lynne Kelly's / Medieval and Renaissance directions to group items in fives.  Last week Tanya placed the first 20 countries and Janet placed 10 in her apartment.  We each drew maps of our homes and started with China at the front door. Which is topical.  Janet's focus is on terrible people. She's filled her apartment with Nemeses and Gods.  Tanya is not too focussed. More with situations and puns.  I broke some rules in the flow of the locations and those mistakes are a bit of a pain now. But I don't want to change them. I'll need to create a narrative to explain them. The 'line' of my trip doubles back and crosses itself a few times,
