Thursday 20 January 2011 - appreciation

Ye gods! Horror of Horrors yesterday! Our water supply was cut off!
Eeeeek!!!
I'd seriously rather go a week without electricity over a day without water. (Um, but I'd prefer that just be bravado and it never gets tested, thank you very much!)

I am a big fan of water on tap. Not just because I've grown attached to washing my hands or that you can't cook much with hope and flames alone, but also because, gosh and golly, it's nice to be able to flush the loo and dirty? Why take a bath!

A bath, a bath, a glorious bath! That was what I missed most! The idea of going to bed without a bath sent shivers of ickiness down my spine! Imagine going to sleep in all the dirtiness of an entire day? Noooooo!! I was seriously considering pulling an all nighter. But the water came back and much rejoicing was heard in the vicinity of me! A bath had never felt so good! (and I've had some pretty awesome ones!)

Just goes to show, don't ever ever take those little things for granted. What's here one day might not be hear the next. (and then you might end up having to try sneak a bar of Lux soap into the public swimming pool....)
