Crazy day

It's been a crazy, crazy day today, with the water coming in short supply since the pipes got some silt lodged in, which in turn decided to lodge itself in my washing machine, making a regular load of clothes take about 5 hours to complete. The plumber finally arrived an hour back and cleaned up the pipes, so thankfully we're back to normal now. The plumber/electrician/gardener here are all completely unique, but will relate the story some other time.....
