Been wearing a new Redkettle ventile jacket since the weekend, seems to be a very well designed and well made bit of kit. They have a stock clearance on at the moment too.
Redkettle

Two flats of 24 cans each of mucky wet cat food for the blob, Rumpuss-cat. The year will cost me at least $450 to feed the pig.

Enough electricity to have forgotten and left the electric blanket on all day on LO. Ah well, juice is cheap here. Snow all around us and the freezing level can't be more than 1500m (we sit at 700m).
1150PM, S windy and maybe +3C.

Ooooh Makita! I'm getting to an age now where I look at that kind of stuff and tip my hat to you Sir. Good choice. I need to upgrade my power tools for sure......

Extreme cold (-25C) possible by the weekend, heavy 25 cm snow drifting into us from the west (typical). But at least here, it has to warm up to snow.
So, stocked up today on food and drink. Store empty of my favorite junk so will have to cook and bake my own treats in the coming days.
Four more books on sundial construction were in the box, too.
 
Bought all the ones that keep coming up:
Mayall & Mayall, Rohr, Savoie, Cousins, Waugh, Stoneman, Muller.
If it weren't for all the huge discounts from abeBooks.com,
I couldn't afford to do this.
Cousins is a hard cover with mind-gagging maths and some fold out patterns in the back.
Stoneman & Muller are really hobby craft books, things to do with kids. Some dwell on the mathematics which doesn't interest me at all. Thumbing through them, Savioe and Rohr are visually appealing. Will be tried as bed-time reading.
 
Your tough!

I suggested the Drinkwater texts as I was given a copy when young; a cousin did the illustrations.

It claims it is intelligible by a smart child.

It defeated my Maths teacher.

The key thing is that the gnomon (pointer) has to point at the pole star, Polaris. Then you have a clock circle, perpendicular to the gnomon. Like the ring you see commonly on sundials.

The angle above the horizontal is the latitude of your location, 53 degrees for my place. Hope that's right, been decades since I fooled with models of these.
 
 
Would you let me know what you think of that when you've had a good go with it? Cheers
 
I'm hoping to do bit of sea fishing towards end of month but if that fails I'll be out in new year. I'll probably put a review up of it. I'm a beginner hough so not sure how good my review or thought on it will be to you.
Even better- I'm interested in its robustness, beginners are always the best at testing that haha. Hope you manage to get a few fish :cool:
