Friday highs

A great day with even better weather. I got up early for a meeting at Espresso Royale Cafe on State Street where I chanced upon a student from the class I grade. He was working the counter and recognized me the same second I recognized him as one of the brighter students. He immediately offered me his "GSI special" because I'm grading his papers. So I got a free hazelnet steamer. I thought he was kidding at first but he insisted, so I left a tip for him instead of paying. I told him he was doing well and had nothing to worry about. Thank goodness, or I might have had to lie to say something polite.

After my meeting, I came home and decided to wash my car. I was very disappointed with the autowash I gave the Wabbit (as May so termed endearingly!) two days ago - a layer of grey dust still clung to the body despite the strong sprays of water. Since this might be some of the last warm days before the real winter sets in, I got out pail, cloths, washing liquid, wax and tyre spray.

I started with my Dustbuster inside the car where the floor is filthy and the dashboard dusty. The cleaning got progressively harder. I'm pretty slow (my short arms can only go so fast) so by the time I finished washing and rinsing the car, the cool air had dried most of the water before I got out my drying cloth.

The Wabbit got the works - a good wash and rinse, wax and polish, and had her rims cleaned out (very much like clogged ears) and a finishing spray to make the tyres gleam.

Very satisfied with this mini make-over for my car. Please observe the reflection. *grin* (I hope this passes Lin Kiat's expectations).

The Wabbit's vanity plate.

Wabbit at rest.

I bet all my neighbors will now label me the crazy girl who takes two hours to clean her car, and then even takes pictures of it!
