Seachain an duine a bhíonn ina thost

Dad's postcard from Cuba arrived today, minus the picture on the front cover. It looks as though it's been dropped in a puddle: all the writing is smudged.

I wonder if the postcard was censored by a patriotic postman. It had a picture of Castro on the front, who I'd referred to as "some chappy", alleging that his beard was "a bit half-hearted". Perhaps he tore off the picture in a fit of rage, indignant at the idea that some foreigner would show such disrespect for Dear Leader.

If so, dear Cuba, I'm very sorry.
