I should own a barometer.

@nina_kali_nina Trying to remember which town it was in Scotland that had a barometer next to a little lighthouse. It had been installed at some considerable expense when instruments like this were not common and fishermen would check it before committing to go out in their small boats. It was a potentially life-saving instrument for them.

@nina_kali_nina was it sales pressure that made you say this ?

@nina_kali_nina you can also use one to measure the height of buildings in a variety of novel and creative ways https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/44215

@nina_kali_nina I like 'fortell'. I wonder if a Forteller is a more useful but duller Fortune-teller? Maybe they have a tent next door at fayres, with a desk, barometer, small weather vane on top etc.

@nina_kali_nina Trully, we should all own a barometer.

@nina_kali_nina Had this exact one which was in my parents house for decades. Gave it away to someone who appreciated barometers.

@nina_kali_nina
My grandparents house has one, from what I can tell it does seem to work pretty well! Quite useful knowing whether it will rain a few hours in advance on the farm.
