take the dog for a walk

 The sound of the alarm, and up at nine. Put on clothes for the day, and forget to  put one accumulator into the camera bag. The matter with the accumulator will be noticed later. Go into the  kitchen and make a cup of coffee. This is the day before last of this stay in Ireland, a stay that may well be the last one.

Drive up to the  brothers and the sister in laws nursery as a passenger in the bus driven by the sister in law. The bus is wide, and it is unpleasant to drive. The job today is to take care of the exhibition .

There are few visitors to the nursery on this Tuesday. It is almost afternoon before a few people come in to look at the exhibits. Some are talkative and some have enquiries. Answer questions and chat.


The day goes by gently and quietly.

In the evening there is a peaceful time alone with the exhibits. The brother returns, and go for a walk to inspect his ram pump. It is working, Scramble up the hill to see the water coming out in bursts.

Lock up the nursery building together with the brother after doing a few small jobs. Carry a small compressor down to the storeroom at the exit to the complex. On the way step on a hosepipe and slip.

That is the way accidents happen, But nothing did happen, apart from lying on the back looking at the high tension wires passing by overhead.

Finish the day by going out and taking the dog for a walk. The face is burning with sunburn all day, it is worse in the evening,
