Today Tom and I spent 90 minutes in the front garden. Our aim was to continue filling the long trench on the northern side of the house, where a retaining wall had been incorrectly sited. Tom had his tiny green wheel barrow and I had a yellow bucket and we worked in a kind of team-like way, though of course, he was easily distracted by just about anything, and prone to losing sand on the way down the stairs.
But he gets the truck noises pretty right. If only that energy could be channeled into industriousness, we would be finished by now. Still, I'm enjoying the process of emptying buckets of sand into the hole; the gradual rise of the ground level over time is satisfying.
We are an inefficient pair, but that's how we like it.
