Non-recycling waste and shredded paper out in the trash this morning. Two boxes of magazine innards waiting to go to the recycle bin this evening. Pushed the mowing plans back a day because I did some essential shopping on the way home yesterday and I try not to mow after dark (though there is a street light at the corner of my lot).

Last night I figured out how to move some saved films around as digital files to watch on the television through the new BluRay player. They are loaded onto a flash drive plugged into the the player's USB port (versus watching them on the computer with a monitor). A good use of the 8 gig drive that used to seem huge but is now fairly small, used for movie loading and viewing. Using Windows Media player from the laptop to the television so far doesn't work completely - the picture displays but the sound only comes out of the computer, not the television, even though it is through a HD cable.

At bedtime I often just want to leave everything till the next day, but I've made a point of washing the few dishes in the sink so in the morning I walk into a pleasant and completely cleared kitchen counter and sink. I have a few projects for the weekend piling up on the counter, but I'll move those out ASAP on Saturday morning. Mostly to do with the magazine clearing.

This weekend is when more of the garden will be planted. So more of it will be dug. I have my garden boots, spade fork and mattock by the door.
