Bonus
Is it Christmas already?
I got home past midnight. These days, it has been my routine to open the inflow valve of our water tank before going to bed. That way, I don't have to wake up at 6am to make sure we collect enough water to last the day.
The house next door is being renovated and the workers are practically living there, so I decided not to switch on the light.
I snuck outside in pitch dark, scared myself by stepping on a piece of coiled wire that sprung back at me like a snake, and dampened my shirt because it was drizzling.
But I was happy to be out, because there it was, on the part of the wall near our water tank: a solitary firefly!
