It was the nicest water I've ever tasted - except after lightning storms, when it tasted of brass and chlorine!Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-24071807435193471612008-01-16T13:49:00.000+01:002008-01-16T13:49:00.000+01:00Hi, Jmaes.

Yes, "reduced" I was!! WWCiao,jmb. Yes, "reduced" I was!! WW< good point - I never thought about that! Hi, Shirl. I'm not that good at being dressed, etc., early morning myself and I'm hanged if I will open that door without full make-up on and drenched in perfume! Re epitaph, we could add "And she picked up the dog poo " - romantic, that! Hi, Liz. Will there come a day when it will stop working, though? I'd love you to come over and see a water delivery for yourself! Hi, Ellee. You've reminded me I must get an outfit for that scarf! x Leslie, that must have been awful. Poor you. Glad you have good weather today. Ciao, Crushed - I imagine that is much the same everywhere.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-14577070136900328832008-01-15T22:56:00.000+01:002008-01-15T22:56:00.000+01:00I get the impression that there is a deliberate po...I get the impression that there is a deliberate policy in any public service in Sicily NOT to be convenient in any way shape or form.<BR/><BR/>It is a policy most British banks have adopted by only being open when you cannot get to them.Crushedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479751225625007588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-12826894367069299532008-01-15T20:39:00.000+01:002008-01-15T20:39:00.000+01:00And to think I take water so for granted!

(of course there always seems to be more arriving from the sky above, too! ;D) <BR/><BR/>But I think electricity is the #1 next most important thing. Last night we lost our power for 4 hours due to hurricane gust winds and I was at a total loss. I ended up in bed covered with a flannel sheet, a wool blanket, the bedspread, plus a sleeping bag zipped open. I was wearing (picture this) my long-sleeved nightie, heavy socks, and my housecoat. I read with a flashlight until about 10 pm when my eyes gave out and I fell asleep. All well today, though, with beautiful clear blue sunny skies.
