Measuring physical, mental and social space: A Political record

Since I was a child and my father used a metallic tape measure and my mission was to get it from the garage; I remember the sound as it was rolled out and uttered an occasional click. I took for granted its ability to hold its temporary span, filling a void perhaps and then its signature crack as it collapses. I was reminded of this yesterday. The span now 3.5 metres. What a measure of resilience this is.
