Today is housework day, well, it's got to be done!!
Today is also the day that the Presidente is off to the bowels of the apartment block with the man who is going to check the water storage tanks.
The water will be off for about 15 minutes, he tells me, it should be ok though and it's too late to put a notice up warning everone because we weren't given any notice, the man just arrived.
Right.
So I get out the Cif and the Marigolds and away I go..............................NO............................the phone rings..................'Did you know the water's off?'. Yes, but it'll be back on soon.
Back to the bathroom..........................NO.........................phone rings again.................'Did you know there is no water?'. Yes but it'll be back on soon.
Back to the bathroom.........................doorbell rings......................'I've got no water', Niether have I, I say but it'll be back on soon.
Approach the bathroom from the other angle......................don't get there because the doorbell rings........................? I've got no water and I've had to turn my washing machine off'. Why I ask? 'Well the water's off and water and electricity don't mix?'
But it will be back on in a minute, I say. But I'm going to England tomorrow and I need to dry my clothes' she says.
Now the reason that I will never be Presidente is because my answer was..................? So....... why didn't you do your washing before this?'
Enter El Presidente.............................haven't you finished the bathroom yet????
We've got a swear box now 'cos I think I'm going to need one !!!
