I’ve got a bucket.  Where’s the nearest well?

Filed under: Uncategorized

It’s the hottest day of the year. The Met Office have issued a heatwave warning.

And, for some mysterious reason, my water’s been shut off.

Nice one.

Edit, an hour later: It’s back on. Apparently they’re doing work on the house down the road and the plumber was trying to turn off their water, and turned ours off instead. Currently, he’s wandering around the road trying to work off which stop cock goes to that house.

Edit: Heh heh heh heh. I said “cock”.

  1. Oh no, poor you, poor Fecklet (husbands – they can be big and manly about these things!)
    I’d recommend lots of deodrant, and wine – then you won’t care if the water’s on or not. Not sure if it would be the responsible thing to do though…

  2. LOL! It’s turned on now.

    My main thought was, “Thank God I’ve bought a litre of apple juice and a 6-pack of diet 7-Up!”

  5. I so know what that’s like. We had a burst water pipe near our house on Tuesday afternoon. When I got home Mum had filled up as many containers with water she could find. Thankfully it came back on about 7.10pm. It always makes me think of the future and what would happen if that happened often due to water shortages.
