no water

It seems as if a long stretch of consistent electricity and water supply has come to a screeching halt.
We have been without water here for about 24 hours and the house is starting to get gross.. We have no reserves as they were used yesterday, so now we use the filtered water for washing face, drinking etc.. 

The power was out the other night for a very long time as well.. Things are becoming very African , very fast around here.. Apparently this happens during the month of December and we will need to make a better plan to be prepared..

So when you can't get running water or keep up with dirty dishes because you have no water, this is what happens after about 15 minutes.... good thing there is this product called "Doom" that you sprinkle over areas and it immediately kills anything it touches



I had the truck worked on a few days ago.. I have found a reputable place to take our vehicle... and one of the great perks is they take credit cards! One of the other wonderful things about having work done to your car here is that they clean it from head to toe before turning the keys over to you.. I opened up the hood to look at the lights and what was once a dirty, dusty engine was now pristine.. 
Photo below is the waiting room.. with crates of cokes for customers. 

The other photo is of the Zambezi river.. Maura took a snapshot of this on her way back from south Africa...  Other photo is Joseph and Jude playing some soccer last evening.. 

Hope all is well, and I hope your toilets are running at home.. because they aren't here..
