The lamps outside, hanging high in the yard behind the house are glowing now. They have spent all day gathering energy from the sunlight. Now they will glow for half the night.
The day started with loading up the small trailer with plastic containers of rubbish from the building activitities last year. Upon completion of the loading of the trailer see that its right hand tire is flat. As a result the trailer has to be unloaded again, so that the remaining air is enough to support the tyre. Get the car and take the trailer to the nearest petrol station. Fill the tyre with air, and check the other tyre too.
Then return home and reload the trailer.
The journey to the waste disposal place is uneventful.
Pay the fees, return home. That was one load, a paltry four hundred and fifty kilos. According to the scales in the waste disposal place, and they are really quite accurate.
The neighbours are holding a gathering in front of the house, they are in the way. Tell them so, and they look appalled at the rudeness of it.
Then take a long walk in the park, two miles of peace and quiet. Listen to the birds sing.
