It's WET but I'm still dry

Well here we are a full week after the floods. We have no water supplies in our homes although luckily we do have electricity. The powers that be have sited 1100 water bowser's throughout the county and are filling them every 4 hrs, there are tales of people urinating in them and also pouring bleach into some. whether this is true or not I don't know.
Its amazing how you can adapt to washing and bathing in a bucket but I hate not flushing the toilet, especially with two boys in the house making a total of four people using it. We have adopted a saying, and that is,"If its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down") I think I first heard that on "Meet The Fockers".
The local supermarkets are giving away litre's and litre's of bottled water. I'm saving mine , so that when its all over I can have a bath in Perrier. Ooh the decadence.
Oh and its raining again.
One good thing, I am using all the in time due to the weather to learn Flor D'Luna on the guitar. Got most of it, just struggling on the solo

I first heard that in New York City in 1964, when they were having both a World's Fair and a water shortage. :D

That's the kind of saying that WOULD stick in an eight-year-old's head for over forty years! I heard it for the first time this week, in a PM from Rodder's brother Dogsbody - I have to say, it did tickle my funnybone.......

:D :D :D

More news,

we have running mains water back now. We have been instructed that we can use it to wash clothes, flush the loo's, bath or shower in it but don't drink it, clean our teeth with it, wash up with it or prepare food with it.

Apparently it might still be contaminated with bugs that may have got into the pipes from the flood water.

Strange how we can totally immerse our bodies in it but can't ingest it.

So we are still on bottled water for those "don'ts" that thankfully is free issue from our local supermarket car parks.

Water company will inform us when we can start drinking it from the taps.

Probaly they must clean the pipes and all the distribution network. It seems all is returning to the normality. The disaster was big so it will be needed some time extra.
