And returning to milk bottle tops (part of yesterday’s diary). We used to have glass bottles, remember those? With aluminium foil tops. I don’t remember if there were colours for skimmed milk and semi-skimmed (red and green respectively), but there were silver tops for ordinary milk and gold ones for high quality cream laden Jersey milk. We used to save the tops for recycling even then. Aluminium has always been quite a prized commodity, hasn’t it? And today I see the price of it at 1850 US dollars per tonne. Isn’t the price of gold amazing. I wish we had some! 1165 US dollars an ounce.
I have recently had a birthday, and I am now the same age as my father was when he died. This is a frightening thought.
Needs a bit of work doing on this shed to make it good again!
