3 Good Things (Redux)

Desmond79

Since the thread, which began May 2021, seems to have vanished, I wish to create a new one. 

From Darkness to Light. Smiley

1. I paid for a condensed tumble dryer, which I reserved on Tuesday; for delivery, tomorrow. Also paid for a three-year warranty. (In cash) 

2. I made a poem, entitled 'Storm in a teacup', about the arrival of Agnes. (SEYMOUR!) 

3. Bought more Farm-Fresh milk today.

  • Don't know if these are good things, but I thought they were interesting...

    I learned:

    1. That snakes can 'see' in infra red

    2. That radar can detect raindrops

    3. That commercial aircraft carry weather instruments.

    (From Open Learn course - "watching the weather")

    I am fascinated by vision and colour. I would love to be able to see in infra red as well as ultra violet. Colour, as we know it is a human construction. Other species have different ranges. I love it.

    Here is a very cool thing you can do to see in infra red yourself...

    Use the camera on your smart phone. (If you have one) and use it to look at the little LEDs on a TV remote control. When you press the control buttons, you can actually see them light up!
