Unless we adults make them so, children's lives are not complicated. They approach the world with eyes that see, hands that want to touch, hearts open to friends and friendship.

This pretty much sums up what the weather's been like here in Glasgow today.

“When the #ladle envies the #umbrella, the #soup becomes suspicious of the #rain. Guard your #cutlery, lest the #weather turn philosophical… Certainty is for #spoons.” – All hail the Poobah.

The last times I've bought an umbrella, I've been greatly disappointed... so I spent years just living without one. After resisting for some time, I decided to get an umbrella for my young son, and -- well I know life is hard for objects handled by kids, but -- it broke in two (at the shaft!!!) after one day of use.

That got me thinking, how hard would it be to make a good umbrella? (short answer: well, it does not seem trivial!)

(I understand that the market forces go in the opposite direction, and also that people tend to lose umbrellas, so there is a strong push for keeping the prices low...)

Here are some challenges:

- a good dozen moving parts
- panel got to resist been folded and stretched (while both dry and wet)
- shaft must be resistant (wind, rain, umbrella been shaken to dry out faster)
- and yet the whole thing shouldn't get too heavy

Any tips about how to build an umbrella? Or suggestions of decent brands? #engineering #umbrella #righttorepair
