In this time of recycling, of which I’m a supporter, Holland has recently issued wheelie bins purely to put cans, bottles(glass and plastic),cardboard and paper. The rules are that bottles and cans are washed.
That is okay for most things, although washing out the dog food cans is a challenge, but trying to clean out peanut or almond butter jars is by far the worst.
This stuff does not dissolve in water easily, even hot water. All you can do is scrape it off the inside of the jar with fingernails. This is most disgusting, and feels like scratching a blackboard, only slimy.
The only fun thing I do with peanut butter is feeding some to the dogs, it’s the only time you can see just how long their tongue is.
Poor old Dhama, it looks like she swallowed a whip.
Continuing on the patio project, I dug the ditch to sink the wooden frame into, I had to chose the hottest day to do it.
I had this large brimmed hat that had a reflective surface on the top supposably to reflect the heat back to the sun, guess what? It didn’t work.
Apart from blocking microwaves, it made my head sweat, then my eyes were stinging from the sweat, it really wasn’t the right day to do this.
I had been careful making the frame square, checking the diagonals and fixing a piece of wood across the corners to hold it all square.
As soon as I lowered it into the ditch, and shimming it level, it wasn’t square any more.
So with my head hot, eyes stinging I gave up for the day.
