An excellent day today. The very best of autumn weather and time to enjoy the garden - completely relandscaped last week and now so inviting. Returned home after an early morning drop-off at the airport and watered all the newly sewn grass. Level 2 water restrictions mean this was done with a watering can and not the hose. I enjoyed that real hands on feel.
It is now 4 months since I won an iPod Touch in a Bible knowledge competition at Parachute 2008. Proof that there are tangible rewards in 50 years of amassing Bible trivia! And I am at last brave enough to actually use the device. Loaded with an eclectic mix of Dave Dobbyn, Dunstan Rangers, Sons of Korah, Blind Boys, Adeaze, the new Jack Johnson and others. Arranging the playlist by song title means I can go all day and be quietly surprised by the next track that emerges.
And I attempted to clean a VERY tarnished silver tray that belonged to my parents. Three doses of silver polish made some impression but it was still fairly black. Then after a visit to Simple Savings I put some aluminium foil in the bottom of the sink, added a liberal amount of washing soda (Sodium Carbonate), poured boiling water over, left for a while and voila! Shiny shiny tray and happy happy me. It was so effective I went and got all our silver cutlery and did the same with that.
Mind at ease, heart at peace, iPod at ideal volume, silver cleaned. Everything's shiny!
