UPDATE: The hot water is back! I'm not rejoicing too much, because this off/on fluctuation happened last time. Lena (landlord) and I took the water heater's cover off this afternoon to have a look and there is indeed a little ant city inside. It's been decided that doing them in is probably the only way.

How was the disc golf, Leece? I'd suggest trains but know you are probably bushed :-)
--------------------------

This is really going to encourage visitors to Chez Rattus.

My hot water system packed up last night. I remained in hope for well past the usual time it takes to heat up; it had, after all, been fine in the morning. I suspect ants of having built a nest inside, this is what happened last time. So I took the world's shortest shower and followed it up by heating water in jug and pan and washing in the basin to finish. Today I will be borrowing my landlord's shower, tomorrow likely the same and Monday I guess it's the train station showers, since I don't think the building renovations (including showers) are finished at work yet.

I think I can add this to the things which would bother me the most when the zombie apocalypse strikes.

1. zombies
2. supply of antidepressants would dry up
3. supply of tea and chocolate would dry up
4. when the hot water system went kaput, nobody would fix it.

Actually, I think the no hot showers would bug me even more than 3 and make 2 even more difficult to handle. I love the 21st century :-)
