I have kept those Folgers containers too, just didn't know why. (They seemed way too nice, too toss; let alone wasteful...) I thought they'd come in handy to keep things in one day. Maybe water? Who knows.

I do hope so. Having been without water for a week back in January 2000 and no bowsers, just bottles and bottles of mineral water, I can truly sympathise. As soon as it comes back, has got passed the nasty brown stage and you are allowed to use it again, straight in the shower and just stand there - one the of the best feelings in the world!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-60998343307484338842007-07-30T03:08:00.000+01:002007-07-30T03:08:00.000+01:00sounds like things are on the improve........hope ...sounds like things are on the improve........hope you get water soon.......Chookyblue......https://www.blogger.com/profile/03673183082274488600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-6426603624139972712007-07-29T15:53:00.000+01:002007-07-29T15:53:00.000+01:00Waiting on a book, sometimes my books comes really...Waiting on a book, sometimes my books comes really fast from Amazon and others not... not sure what the reasoning is on that...<BR/><BR/>Hope your water is back soon!Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560812716080117867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-14487587857950242692007-07-28T19:08:00.000+01:002007-07-28T19:08:00.000+01:00This weather is just dreadful and I feel so sorry ...This weather is just dreadful and I feel so sorry for everyone especially the elderly in this situation.

From the pictures of the bowsers and looking at the spread of them (knowing the local area and being able to work out how far apart they were situated) it would appear that there have been nowhere near enough for the number of people in the heavily populated areas. Frightening really just how much havoc can be created from one pumping station being put out of action - may well give terrorist factions some ideas. Glad you're coping - bet you're looking forward to a long luxurious hot bath at the end of it all :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.com
