1:3 Bathing - Al Fresco...

It is a very strange situation that Benjamin finds himself in.  The lot in Henford-on-Bagley that he purchased was small.  Very small.  And had no house.  In fact it had very little.  He had found himself the proud owner of a wall, which even Benjamin had to admit was pretty fabulous, one tree, a bush and a few straggly ferns.

But a few plants does not a home make and Benjamin often found himself at a loss as to what to do, let alone what order he should buy things in.... if he ever worked out how to make some money!


The natives seemed friendly too.  Benjamin couldn't help but notice that there seemed to be an unusually large proportion of women compared to men here in Henford-on-Bagley and this meant that the new guy on the block was very popular, just for being.... well, a man.  Benjamin enjoyed the attention but knowing you are popular just because of your chromosomes is a pretty hollow ego boost.

He really hoped he would find someone here that he could really connect with.  His mind had kept wandering to the friendly woman at the grocery stall.  She had been so kind.  When he had felt at his lowest...

Benjamin had begun going around digging randomly in the dirt around Henford-on-Bagley, but he people of this area obviously had strong pockets.  But he managed to scrape together enough pieces of scrap to raise a few simoleons.  But what was most important?  What should he buy first? One item, one luxury.

While he was pondering he realised that the bush in his garden was, well, handy....  I guess this means he can forgo buying a toilet for now...

Purchasing a shower was easy enough but upon returning home with his shiny new shower, Benjamin found that his lack of walls presented a problem.  He stood helplessly in the centre of his vacant lot, rotating slowly.  Nope, no privacy here.  

There was only one thing for it.  Benjamin set to work setting up his new shower on the stonewall surrounding his estate.  He had to get "creative" with the water supply....the neighbours won't notice a small increase in their water usage...

He kept the shower towards the back of his property, showering al fresco was one thing, soapy twerking for the neighbours was a whole other thing...
