A trip to the hardware store

Today I bought four items.

* A lightbulb
* Some baby spinach seeds (I don't know if they will grow into adult spinach if I don't eat them while they're babies...)
* two buckets.

The lightbulb is an energy saving one, however it has two features that encouraged me to give it a try. It is 20W (supposedly equivalent to 100W regular) and it has a halogen bulb in it too, so when you first turn it on the halogen goes on too, hence it is bright straight away. Once the energy saver bit gets to full boil, the halogen bit goes off.

The bulb in my room is still lit, so I have to wait for it to blow before I can try my new one. If it works ok, then I will be able to be a bit more environmentally friendly.

The buckets are for Pooka to play with. She loves buckets. Really. I don't know if I've put any footage online of her bucket dance. Will have to do that sometime.

The seeds are to satisfy my occasional need to make something grow out of the soil. It usually fails. Luckily seeds are cheap.
