Good Morning Saturday Birds.

Grey and damp here. Bleugh lol! Had another bizarre dream last night. Even tho I only sleep for a few hours, when I do I tend to have the weirdest dreams lately. Often involving people I've not seen for years and years. Last nights one was about my ex husband! Haven't been married to him for 20 years, and only set sights on on him once in that entire time,but was the oddest most detailed dream. 
Nothing major to do today, so will just chill at home and try & rest for a change. Daytime TV is complete rubbish but maybe there will be something decent on later on.

Anyone doing anything interesting today??

Morning-ish Smow. Interesting? That sounds like the old Chinese diplomatic curse   ...   "May you live in interesting times". As it so happens it gets more "interesting" evert day here. ESpecially in the bathroom area. We have had no water since Wednesday and it looks like there is none until at least tomorrow afternoon. To make life even more "interesting" all the pubs ,hotelss and restaurants are closed for miles around and those within driving distance are being very very choosy about who they let in.

Morning Ark.... yes curl up indoors in the warm if you don't need to go out x

Hi Togo, oh no that doesn't sound good! Why on earth haven't you got any water?? 

 

[Togo]

A burst main from the Cowlyd Resevoir to the treatment plant below. Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Conwy and all of the Conwy Valley towns and villages have been without. About 40,000 households affected. Schools, closed, pubs, hotels, cafes restaurants all closed. You were talking about a dream we have had a 4 day nightmare.

Yes curled up in bed  is the nicest place to be,,, even when poorly,,,

We were luckier than some. We have 2 water butts that were full and we have been able to use them to flush the loo, and to give water to the neighbours dog. Those without stored rainwater have been in trouble. You have no idea how much water it requires to run a flush toilet. I queued for 2 hours yesterday to pick up drinking water at a distribution point. That was no fun either.

Morning all. Togo what a nightmare. We are all so dependent on a reliable water supply. You were lucky with your water butts , mostly we dont have contingency plans.

no plans here today, will just chill. Have a happy day everyone

Morning all, Togo that sounds dreadful, have they given you any idea of when the water will be back on?

Not much on here today, must clean kitchen, only had a wipe over daily all week.  Went to the chiropractor yesterday, thought he was trying to push my back through to the front.  However he said he was pleased with how quickly I have become mobile and don't need to go back.  Given me a horrible exercise to do.

I have just had a brown sludgy trickle   ...   out of the tap. Fingers crossed the water is coming back on. Thank gawd. I can have a hot shave without boiling rainwater in a sausepan. We have not been able to cook anything that required water or to wash up properly.

Missed your post ubasses. They did say this morning first thing that although the repair was completed that it could take untill tomorrow afternoon for some to have supplies. The system had to be refilled slowly. Of course I expect that we will now have burst mains in other places to contend with as a result and of course the main, very high pressure, pipe from the resevoir is the same age and in the same condition that the section that blew. The pipe is a couple of miles long down a steep mountainside with limited access so I would think that a repeat is probably likely. All a result of no planned maintenance schedule and lack of infrastructure investment.
