Water at last!

Rain started this week. I don't know if there is a relationship between the rains and mains water, but I had the lovely surprise this morning, while tapping my tank gently (a habit formed over months of dryness of taps and ordering of trucks to provide for this essential of life), to realise that it was full!

This seems trivial, but it is the first time since December 2008 that my tank fills from the mains.

I should not even have to mention it. Water supply should be a given. Especially when you pay your bills on time every month. Whenever I forget, I find the following statement on the next bill (a GHS40 (GBP18.91, USD27.97, EUR21.45) lump sum):
"Pay at once to avoid disconnection"
Can you see the irony in this?
