sunrise - 0615
sunset - 1824
(there's something to do with it being the point where the mid-point of the sun is above the horizon (and that's 12 hours) but the amount of daylight is more than this because of diffraction in the atmosphere causing the the light to still be visible when the sun is beneath the horizon (etc.)
in 2025 the equinox is on 20th march at 0901.
today eggs and bring the bin back up (and go bell-ringing).
accessions diary 19/03/25
- brecht: a choice of evils, martin esslin (4th ed.) - one squid (may have this one already back in the wen. horsemouth's copy is black rather than blue.)
- tales of unease, sir arthur conan doyle, in the tales of mystery and the supernatural series, one squid fifty. (includes lot no. 249 that was recently filmed as part of the ghost story for christmas series).
- the great japan exhibition: art of the edo period 1600-1868, ed. professor william watson, royal academy of arts (RAA), two squid (to go with the hokusai and the florence oriental art catalogue).
has he done well do you think?
there was an ltc rolt lives of the engineers book (on trevithick, or was it telford?) in the oxfam - but horsemouth wasn't convinced. probably if he'd been in less of a hurry to get around every second hand book-shop and charity shop in hereford (that he knew of or saw on his journeyings) he would have taken the time to start reading it (and been hooked).
last night he read the introduction to tales of unease.
another beautiful morning (birdsong and fog machines).
today eggs and bring the bin back up and go bell-ringing. (has he said that before).
