Water, water everywhere (and not a drop to drink)

Well, who would have thought, after making it through various floods, fords and run-offs over the last couple of days the last thing I expected this morning was no water from the tap. By the looks of the news we escaped pretty lightly.

But even so, the prospect of no water for 3-4 days is a bit of a concern. I’m starting to realise just how many times I wash my hands during the day! Don’t mention the toilet.

By 10am Adli in Ballyphehane was out of large bottles, I found some in Lidl in Carrigaline (since they still have water out there). And we’ve been blessed with a few visitors bearing every vessel they can find filled with water. The Irish are great neighbours!

So we’re stocked up for now. Why are they in the bath? Well we won’t be using it for a few days!
