Day 5 of 40 Bob


Yet another productive (and very hot) day in the backyard. The children were taking their oldest granny out for a belated birthday lunch, so I started on my own. First a couple of wheelbarrows with sand from the front to the back of the house. Then dismantling the framework of the trampoline some further. I changed my ‘normal’ old boots for garden boots in a huge male size because where I was working there was a huge chance to slip into the green puddle. No! I did not slip, the boots were just in case. It will take a little effort still but I am determined to leave not a single trace of the crater here.
It is really not a bad job to do with such lovely weather. I have a nice sun tan now as well as worked out. Time flies when you’re having fun and before long it was three o’clock and my mom arrived to take the promised tour in the new house. We chatted a little before we took off and unexpected all the kids dropped by too. I took the chance to have a few extra hands on lifting and detaching the framework and now that job is done too. Tonight we brought back the trailer and wheelbarrow. Me still in my working clothes, covered not only with mud but smear too because of the framework. I couldn’t help wondering if the man from the trailer might have confused me with Bob the Builder, while he was laying at my feet to unplug the trailer from the car. Normally when men are at my feet like that... nevermind, it must have been the hot sun burning my head all day long. 
Well, tomorrow I will dress up more feminine again. School in the daytime and in the evening I will go to the condolence for my uncle.
