snottiegobble starts with ... I was given a combination weathervane as a present which includes a thermometer, raingage, 4 points of the compass, revolving wind cups, & a rooster all of which I assembled before putting it in position. Now having had many chooks & roosters in the past I remember how comical they were with feathers ruffled & pushed around by strong wind when turning their backs to it, specially the long tailed roosters. Naturally just like seagulls they tried to always face the wind, so I placed the weathercock to face the wind. Now we have a disagreement with our neighbour who says the weathercock should face the direction the wind is going! Who is right? | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smack in the middle) 15th January 2011 8:06pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |
