Water

Continuing the thoughts about water... So far, this house has had an inconsistent water situation. We never know if there will be hot water or water pressure or even any water at all. It is quite a guessing game -"Should I shower now with a small trickle of warm water or hope it will be better in the morning?" We have generally erred on the side of just showering at night, but we have also rushed through a quite cold stream.

It really makes me appreciate the times when there is both hot water and pressure, but I am also very aware of the fact that clean, running water is a luxury. I am deeply thankful we are not hauling huge vats of water up a hill each morning. It's hard to imagine what a day in the life is like for our neighbors only kilometers away.

  1. I love it, you've only been there for a short period of time and you're already thinking in kilometers. That's pretty impressive really after having lived so long in the metric system deprived United States.
