We had an amusing time messing around with pin hole cards and a colander but by far the best device was manufactured in 1943.
A couple of years ago, a neighbour gave me this Mark IXA Bubble Sextant. These were used by RAF navigators to take celestial shots (sun, moon and stars). As such it has a series of 7 sun filters which can be selected. Here then was the ideal device to experience this wonderful event.
Earlier this week I attended my monthly clinic and again my paraprotein was undetectable. My kappa continues to bounce around at about 27 and my consultant says this is very much due to the accuracy/variability of the test itself. It seems that when first tested my kappa was in excess of 800 !
I have much to be thankful for.
There are things around, and I know where they can be got quite easily,
but I quite like waking up to the sunshine.
