LAZY WATER

We did not have water for about four days. Fart was quite happy about it. He would go down to the club in the early morning, have a swim and shower. He was doing the same in the afternoons. He had big plastic containers of water for our household needs.

This is not normal as we live out of town on a farm and all our water comes from a spring in the mountain behind us. But it is a long way away and the water is pumped through four tanks and at one stage is gravity fed (that sounds like a pipe with a bad cough!), it has to travel about five kilometres to us.

When the water was running through the taps again, Fart said 'Oh look Sootie, we have lazy water again.'
I asked him what he meant by 'lazy water'. He said, 'Well we don't have to go and fetch it, like millions of other people; it is clean unlike the water of millions of people. It just arrives ready for instant use. It makes people lazy.'

I just love him don't you?
