An Unusual Task:

I have done some odd things whilst house sitting, but never before have I been asked to water a cello, yes that's correct water the cello. Judy is a cello player and because the weather is so warm and the humidity low, she asked if I could water the cello whilst they were away, Otherwise the pegs will drop and this causes problems ( I think) so I have been.

Every couple of days I open the case and take out a small container that has obviously has a sponge of some sort inside, this is popped into a cup of water for a while, then placed in behind the neck of the cello, just under the pegs and that's it - cello watered for another day.
