Water usageJune 17, 2007
I finally got around to checking downstairs to see whether we have a water meter in our furnace room, and it turns out we do. It reads 2092.79 cubic meters. I checked it again a few hours later and it read 2092.82 cubic meters. Something that I recall hearing was that 1 cubic meter is the same as 1000 litres, so 2092.82 - 2092.79 = 30 litres. I'm going to track our water usage each day for the next couple of weeks to get an idea of what our typical water usage is.
Strawberry jamJune 17, 2007
Meredith and I had the delight of making some strawberry jam this weekend from berries that we picked earlier in the morning at
Herrle's Market. Only 3 more hours before they're set and ready to be eaten! :) mmm!
Pretzels and ColaJune 10, 2007
I think it's neat how our brains come to associate one thing with another. Meredith and I were at church camping this weekend, sitting around a campfire. And as I started to eat some pretzels, the thought of a nice cold cola came to mind. I was taken back to the many summer nights at Turkey Point that Graham, Colin and I would haul my PC and subwoofer over to his cottage and hook it up to their TV so that we could watch DVDs, which at that time were new on the market. Graham was a huge pretzel fan, and inveitably the Coke would also come out. There we were: Lounged out on the couches, laughing, feasting on those salty pretzels and slurping back Coke. I can still hear the ring of ice hitting the sides of the glasses.
