Woke up this morning, and before I can smile at the rising Sun, everything was bright! Yes of course the visiting nieces and nephews left all the lights on last night. While lying on bed, and shaking my head (I do that a lot), it dawned on me that I have some of the most decorative, but inefficient light bulbs. And they burn out often!
Every few days I keep hearing an ad on the radio about energy-saving bulbs, and with a recession at hand, I think these old bulbs should go. I visited the ever popular Massy Stores, Peake's and Tan Yuk engineering, and eventually found some affordable energy-efficient bulbs. The salesman also talked me into purchasing a bulb changer (see photo, upper right).
Still excited when I returned home, I went full steam ahead and started changing all the bulbs. I felt good, because not only am I saving on the cost of energy, but also doing my part to save the planet. And since they last longer, I won't have to worry about changing them for a while.
There are many green solutions that can be utilized in our home that can assist in the overall reduction of greenhouse gases. Light bulbs are a start; solar water heaters is another good project. A handyman is needed for that ambitious project.

Why was the middle ages sometimes called the dark ages?
Because they had so many knights!
