Elayne Riggs' Journal (for Leah)

Dry Friday

Well, as Kwanzaa begins and Chanukah ends, we find ourselves commemorating Boxing Day at the Riggs Residence. Probably no bubble and squeak on tap though, because there's no tap. Seems a water main broke up the hill and it's apparently still not repaired (the only place we found any news about it is on a local traffic page), and as a result there's been no water in the kitchen or the bathrooms since around midnight. I'm sure it'll be repaired soon, but in the meantime we can't cook or take showers or even flush the toilets. It's a good reminder, during this time of year, of how we shouldn't take any of life's blessings for granted. So we're trying to, um, restrain ourselves during this trying period, and spend time on the web or watching movies. We found this pretty appropriate viewing for the day, it's veddy veddy English and it's got lots of cool close-up shots of robins.
