Wax on

As I wandered through my favourite hardware warehouse, I saw a product new to me - food safe wax.

I have now waxed all the cutting boards in the kitchen and in the caravan.

They were all looking very pale and worn out and they were starting to crack. they look much better now.

 

Sourdough

 

I have kneaded my first sourdough loaf - my introduction to mysterious art of bread making.

Vitamin E

 A couple of weeks ago I cut my thumb with a hand saw. I was treated at the Townsville Hospital where the doctors cleaned the cut, inspected the moving parts under the skin and stiched it up.

It has healed nicely. 

Years ago when a melanoma was removed from my nose, the surgeon recommed rubbing Vitamin E oil from oral pills into the wound to minimise scarring. 

So I have been rubbing Vitamin E oil on my thumb scar as well.

Sign of the times

This sign is at a hospital entrance.

I thought that hospitals were for sick people.

Cough Cough

I'm coughing, the neighbours are coughing.
The towers of the city are barely visible though the smoke haze.
All day the heat has been intense though the sun has been dim.
The sunset was dim and diffuse.

Bushfire has made this city unhealthy and unpleasant.
Burning coal to extend bushfire season and make fires more frequent and more intense seems to be a bad idea.
