Day 52

We ran out of water on Saturday night, just before the hoards turned up for the party.  Oh dear.  We have a polytank which is filled with water from the mains.  I’m not sure why it ran out on Saturday – someone seemed to have closed the filling-up-the-tank tap, but the mains had been off for 5 days so we may well just have run out.

We had some stored in big buckets in the bathrooms and the kitchen.  Today we asked Godwin to collect some for us, and I picked up some water sachets at the shop (I carried it on my head!!)

Water sachets are very useful  - clean water, very cheap.  Unfortunately, they are also very bad for the environment, and litter a lot of the surroundings.
