I Was Waiting For This

A pipe burst in the kitchen. I was in the next room and heard it break- and got the stop-cock turned before the house filled up with water. Ailz called a plumber and the man was on the road somewhere in our vicinity and got here and had the pipe mended within an hour. This is going to cost us our insurers £75.

I followed your advice last night and left a tap dripping.

These pipes are set against an outside wall- they're particularly vulnerable.

I like the userpic: Anita Ekberg, Trevi fountain- very cool!

Oh, indeed - I love that scene in La Dolce Vita! I don't suppose you were quite so happy about your floods of water as she is, but I thought it would be appropriate nonetheless.

Highly appropriate.

la Dolce Vita would figure high up on my list of ten favourite films. I love Fellini- and this, I think, is his best.
