“Don’t flush the toilet!” he shouted. Too late. Automatically I pushed the button and the cistern emptied itself without being refilled. Valuable water gets lost. We still have a small supplie of yellowish water in pans, bottles and buckets. The bathtub is filled with brownish water I took a bath in yesterday and can be reused for the toilet. Maybe tonight the tabs will run for another 20 minutes. Maybe they will have fixed the watersystem by tomorrow.

The sun is shining again. I didn’t know this is the land of eternal sunshine. The few days there were clouds and rain have dissapeared from my memory. The road outside looks like a miniature hilly country. I’m very happy the roadmenders don’t work on Sundays.
