Candle making, guitar and world music

I have a prevading sense of peace that I am bathing in today. Got to make the most of it whilst it lasts! It does feel really nice. :)

Candles
Got a chisel out of the garage and chipped off large protruding pieces from the vanilla candle I have. I melted them down in a pan over a low heat. After extracting bits of matches etc I poured the wax into some plastic containers and made some wicks out of string. I fully soaked them in the wax and cut them to a straight vertical height before sinking them into the wax and keeping them upright with some freezer bag clips!


The wax set quite quickly and I even did a larger footprint one with a cast I made of my toes about 4 years ago!

I've distributed them around the house and they smell great!


Guitar
Sat down with the guitar. I've changed the room around slightly so my keyboard is in front of the window and played almost exquisitely lol! My playing is improving every time I pick it up and the pieces are coming on wonderfully.

Radio 3
My listening tastes are pretty eclectic to say the least. From the heaviest rock and grunge, to classical, spoken word and comedy! Radio 3 has been great today, giving us a Shakespeare rendition -- that remind us that human relations still have the same old ups and downs; a documentary on ancient Islamic and Arabic manuscripts in Timbuktu; and world music.

Sweet..
