Undoing what’s done

Posted on by Olaf

There’s little more frustrating than trying to undo a knot but not being able to see where it starts and ends. Sailors and Scouts learn how to use up to 25 knots for practical purposes. How many do you know?
According to The Ashley Book of Knots there are over 3,850 knot types!

Tying a knot is a life skill that most of us learn before going to school – the simple shoe lace. Even with this there are different ways of doing it and you will probably still be doing it the way you were first taught.

On the Compost Heap

Posted on by Olaf

There are subtle distinctions between a scrapyard and a compost heap although nobody wants to end up in either of them! Unwanted junk heads to the scrapyard to be pulled apart or for crushing. By contrast, careful thought is given to those items put on the compost heap where processes of transformation for beneficial regeneration take place and some useful habitats are created for wildlife. There are certainly some damaging things in life like bad choices and their outcomes that we are best sent to the scrap yard.
