When one’s wife is in Uzbekistan

One doesn’t want to receive a txt beginning, “Have just arrived in Majorca.”

The flight was supposed to be direct from Kuala Lumpur to Tashkent. Perhaps Majorca is a suburb of Tashkent, in the way that Paris has a Metro station called Stalingrad (I have been there and do not recommend it as a destination). Or perhaps, despite what the itinerary says, she is travelling from Malaysia to Central Asia via the Mediterranean.

I don’t know. It is possible. She moves in mysterious ways.

Have you found your Missus, bro?

I think 'Uzbekistan' is code for Majorca. It just sounds more exotic.

And also in the way that London has a Tube station called Stratford. There is some corner of a foreign Underground that is forever Taranaki.
