Usual Sunday morning things. When watering the plants I found another infestation of whitefly.
Hate them little buggers. I spray them with “neem oil”, a sorta organic bug spray, and today I found my sprayer was nearly empty. So I headed out to the nursery to buy a bottle of it. Then to Ace hardware to buy some real poison, Sevin. That’s for another plant, my daphne, which got badly damaged by some kind of insect, not the white fly, but has a lot of new growth leaves starting and actually a few blossoms, yay. So I sprayed it good with the Sevin in hopes its new leaves can actually make it to size.
Then I went to the Apple store and bought a pair of Airpod Pro earbuds. I’ve been wanting these because, one, my old regular Airpods fall out of my ears, which is awkward when out on a walk. The Pro type have squishy fitted rubber tips so should stay in. Two, they have active noise cancellation which seems very effective. Three, these are the ones that Apple has released a hearing test for. So later in the afternoon I put on the new buds and ran the hearing test. And yay, Apple says I do not have significant hearing loss. My ears roll off pretty hard above 6Khz, yes, so I’m definitely missing out on the highs, but not enough to be missing conversations.
From there I drove down to San Jose to a big lighting store, Lamps Plus, and walked the aisles looking for a good bedside lamp. No luck. I’ve been trying to find one ever since my old one died a few weeks (months?) ago.
That was about it. Little music practice. Little reading.
