I hope everyone had a delightful weekend! Mine was packed with an unexpected kind of exerciseโthe type I donโt particularly enjoy! ๐ฌ
Our build project has lovely volcanic soil in contrast to here on Ditiantai it is clay.ย So I convinced Kim to get me a trailer load and that I will move it myself.ย ย I underestimated what a trailer load of soil meant!๐ฒ
Over the past four days, I โalmostโ moved a trailer load of dirt, weighing a whopping 6,000 kg, and more!ย Because I ended up handling half of that weight again when I had to shift the entire load to the tail end of the trailer for better access.
Each day, I tackled about a fifth of the load. With my heavy-duty wheelbarrow, each barrow full seemed to outweigh my 47 kg! ๐ณ On the fourth day, utterly exhausted, I welcomed Kim’s help as he needed his trailer back. I was gratefulโuntil I saw the trail of dirt he left all over my beautiful garden! ๐ฑ
So, yesterday was spent water blasting soil off my flagstones. Today, Iโm brushing off the dirt from the planks to prevent it from spreading to my pristine white Zen pebbles. I also removed the planks ahead of the storm forecast to keep fine brown soil from covering my flagstones and Zen garden.
Whew! This is what I mean by exercise I donโt like! ๐
