Mindmap

Last week, someone asked me what I missed about living in London. I guess for the sake of brevity, but really for no reason I can put my finger on, I replied ‘Coffee Shops’. The apparent vacuousity (is that a word?) of my answer raised an eyebrow. But I didn’t explain. It would have taken too long, and anyway it’s hard to talk in mindmaps. Ascii is not much better but here’s my attempt:
