I get that its from wind and sock but its not a sock and doesn't fit into any definition of sock I can find. A couple of days ago watched a Numbephile on the mathematics of holes. Apparently tubes (mathematically) have one hole, and this would include wind socks. Traditional socks would have zero holes and interestingly balloons(hollow balls have minus one holes. Well it was interesting for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'm wondering what to buy, or put towards, with my £65 of Amazon vouchers (redeemed as a reward from my credit card) Think i've narrowed it down to 3 things: 1) A new wallet. A decent one. I don't think i've ever owned one didn't cost £5 or was from a street market in Jakarta or Bangkok. I think @NurembergVillan may have mentioned Bellroy as a good make? I don't want anything 'flashy', just good quality. No coin pocket either as I'm a complete lunatic. 2) A nice leather case/folio cover for my new iPad. As the device was basically a free gift from work, I wouldn't feel bad about spending a bit more on a quality cover. 3) A Kindle. I want to get back into my reading and prefer to read on these devices as opposed to my tablet (get too easily distracted by apps and browsing VT!). My old Kindle is deceased (it was a keyboard one so about 10 years old) Decisions decisions... Probably one for the boring thread to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old Kindle is deceased (it was a keyboard one so about 10 years old) Decisions decisions... Probably one for the boring thread to be honest. I bought the original version of this one when I was living in Canada and absolutely loved it. Only replaced it as I was given a gift. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bellroy-Slim-Sleeve-Premium-Billfold/dp/B08L3PY2LK?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 They're all nicely designed with clever features and quality materials. Closer to your budget, the Note Sleeve will be great even if you carry a big stack of bank cards. There are some beautiful colour options. The other 2 things on your list are time-limited - the case or the Kindle only last for as long as the tech. A wallet can go with you for years, becoming burnished and picking up the scars of everyday life. A good wallet will always be a good wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
