I use the web page “Astronomy Picture of the Day” as one of my homepages in my web browser – the link above goes to the image for the 19th of February which was originally transmitted from the Earth in 1974.

Clocked up 10 miles or so today in a circular walk out towards Heighington, which included a length of the Water Rail Way. The weather was cold (but not as cold as last Saturday) and bright good for photographs.
I tested the “Clik Clak” stove in the wind today. There was a strong wind and it proved difficult to light the meths but once it was going, the stove heated the water for two cups of tea, using the half sized wind shield. So as a spare burner I think it is a success.
I have two of these tins, one I will pack in with my Crusader kit and the second will go in with my hiking brew kit.
I tested the “Clik Clak” stove with my Vargo Ti stove and Ti mug. It worked very well, boiling the water and keeping a rolling boil for about 1.5 minutes.
I have an early business meeting every Thursday so this time of year I see lots of Thursday sunrises.
