It's Wednesday and my sons hamster cage needs to be cleaned. I don't have any more sand to put in the hamster bath....so 7:00 in the morning, a slight drizzle I walk out my gate with an old pan to scoop up sand. Oops I step in an area of thorns...ouch 'Why didn't I were shoes.' and then I notice 2 cars driving to go to work, they drive slowly past me through the gate and they are deliberately looking ahead of them.... I can imagine what it must look like. A woman standing on a sand heap with one foot in the air, a pan in her hand full of damp soil. I had to laugh, I got back into my yard washed the soil and then put it in the oven to dry. I bet I gave them something to gossip about at their office.
