Dad was at work.  It was just me and you.

Things were going well initially.  You watched and played as I exercised, we filled up the pool and you ate snacks, lot of snacks. I cleaned a bit but I couldn’t really be bothered. You played outside again for a while as I hung out some washing.  The sun was out and the birds were chirping.  You were smiling from ear to ear as you picked blades of grass and watched them blow away in the wind.
