Gestation of a baby takes 9 months, no matter how many women are assigned to the task.
As a metaphor that is a thought worth pondering.
Returning to my usual mundane level, the Sun Court Hardware shop at Nabua is having another sale of old stock. I like to have a look now and then to see what they have. I struck gold this time. Two 500ml squirter bottles of concentrated cleaner for $2.50. The cleaner is pretty good stuff, I tried it on the bike where the chain lube accumulates. In any case the squirters alone were worth the price. I have need of a couple of good trigger sprays.
For another $5, I also picked up two one litre tins of silicone seal for spraying onto my backpack, camera bag, motorcycle jacket what-have-you. That would have cost a fortune at any other time or place.
So that accounts for this week’s pocket money. Well spent I would say. My jacket needed sealing, though I am not likely to wear itin this heat until it is fair persisting, and/or I have to travel far.
