For a long time this is my day off.
Well, I don’t go to work, but I have to clean the house, wash and iron my clothes, do some shopping and when the weather is fine I work in my garden.
But now pupils and students, instead of attending their school, use this day to go out and demonstrate for our climate and a better future.
When I was young I skipped school just for fun.
I should join them. Yes, I really should …
but in the basement my tumble dryer has finished and the iron is hot.

as we were heroes
of the summer
