Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and sundry. I used to watch the Urbi et Orbi when I lived in Europe but, being based in the Antipodean region these days, that's no longer an option. Still, here's hoping next year will bring hope and faith to those who are in desperate need, many of whom are to be found in the developed world..

Rock-salt, a winter's tale

Even though I tend to live my life these days in somewhat balmier climes, I have ample experience with having to deal with rather severe winters. In the Netherlands, where I grew up, and also in parts of the United Kingdom where I lived for quite a long time, it can get pretty darn cold during the winter months. 

I remember when the temperatures used to drop suddenly during a cold snap and invariably the roads would become quite dangerous because of sleet and black ice. And then you would see the council trucks appear like the cavalry in a cheesy western, in this case dispersing vast amounts of grit in a huge effort to keep traffic moving at a pace. 

 But of course, people’s own drives turn tricky and slippery as well and that is when you should use rock-salt to avoid any nasty accidents on your driveway or foot path. We cannot help winter arriving and cold temperatures but we certainly can make our drives safe with the use of rock-salt.

Gadget Heaven

I used to love watching James Bond films and one the things I enjoyed most was his masterly use of yet another marvellous gadget, invariably supplied by that genius Q. back at head office. There was a never ending series of wonderful handy gadgets and gizmos, always sure to help Bond escape a deadly serious predicament. I saw it and it was good. I still love to read those magazines with tech gadgets, smart instruments and things that just amaze with their ingenuity and clever applications. A joy it is to imagine using those smart little implements. But lest you think all of this belongs to the world of fantasy and imagination, check out what I have found for you and you will be as happy as I was.
