As readers of my other website know, I have a few pressing medical matters at hand. Wednesday saw a long conversation and a short examination by my GP and on Friday I should get back some rather important test results. You cannot just sit there and ponder your own mortality. Life is for living though we must all, always, consider what the alternative means for those around us. So on Wednesday afternoon Joshua and I picked even more apples and that evening my pal C popped around to help me press.
I am nervous of electronic cutting machines so C operated the blue scratter below which turns apples into pulp. That pulp is then poured into my small press and pressed to produce juice, 23 litres of the stuff. Camden tablets were added to give the juice a long life and the transfer to, newly bought, sterilised bottles was largely done on Thursday evening. 24 bottles are now stacked up and I reckon we will have another 8 to 10 readied on Friday, all for Joshua to sell from his croquet stall at Sharestock on September 7.
The battle to make him a capitalist like his Dad rather than a socialist like his mother is being fought hard.
