I stepped in a well

I did not know we had a well. It seemed others new about it but I didn't. It looked like solid ground covered with stones but all this is decorative, disguising where the water is pumped from for the water feature.  I was cutting yet more branches from the olive grove but stepped down from the ladder straight into the well.  Before that we had lunch at our neighbours two doors down. I knew I was going so I baked a cake, my first fudge creation in an electric oven. He cooked his own pea and mint pizza in the wood fired pizza oven as well as baked chocolate puddings. There was no room for the fudge. It turns out his wife was one of my lecturers at Deakin Uni when I was doing the Grad Dip of Computing.  This was the first emergence of the internet with acoustic couplers and Hollerith cards.
