Love, Reign and Stormy Weather

Love<\/h4>\n

\"#LoveEngineering<\/a>February the month of Saint Valentine, according to Wikipedia a 3rd-century Roman saint<\/a>. The tails of his beheading as a martyr and the distribution of his bones are quite horrific.\u00a0 A far cry from the modern celebration. It wasn’t until around the 14th century that he became associated as the patron saint of lovers. Apparently this was greatly promoted by the writings of Chaucer<\/a>. Quite an achievement in reuse and adaptation!<\/p>\n

Reign<\/h4>\n

This month also saw Her Majesty The Queen celebrate 70 years on the throne. The first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, she will have seen many technological advances and changes during her time on the throne.\u00a0 To illustrate the pace of progress think about a camera. During her coronation she may have been photographed by one of the first Polaroid instant cameras. In the 70s one of the first point and shoot cameras would have been the order of the day. On engagements in the 80’s one of the first digital cameras or a disposable camera could have been used, and in the 00’s snaps on phones would be the norm.<\/p>\n

Storm<\/h4>\n

Naming storms is apparently a way to make things more memorable. A number or identifier is easy to forget. However,\u00a0 many people will remember whether it was Storm Dudley or Eunice that felled the tree in their garden.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, with tortuous metaphor bending…..<\/p>\n
