Water, Water!!
There first rains came last week, there was much excitement and it totally poured down in a way that I have only seen here in Africa.
On the water front.... here in Zambia sometimes things don’t work as you would hope for.
On Monday I was in the shower and had just used my soap when the water cut off.  I stood there hoping it was a minor blip in supply, I stood there and stood there with the soap slowly drying onto my skin... thinking “How the heck am I gonna finish my shower”.
I thought through drying myself and hoping my skin would not look flaky or dry with dried soap on it, No, that would feel weird.
Do I go back to my room in my towel and hope it comes back on soon? No, it could be hours or in the worst case scenario days before that happens.
Then I had a brainwave!
I figured that there was water in the bathroom and that this was my best option right now, so there i stood scooping handfuls of clean water out of the toilet cistern.  It worked and I was clean.
Later in the day I left taps on and managed to flood the kitchen when the water came back on!
TIA as they say....This is Africa!
