Water, water everywhere...
We woke up this morning to suspiciously brown water coming out of all of our taps.
"It's perfectly safe to drink." said the nice person from the water company when we rang.
"That's lucky, because I wouldn't want to bathe in it."

i strongly suspect this to be a plot to corner the homemade bootleg Brown Winsor Soup market from the Neath !!
that, is disgusting!!!
Mmmm, tasty!!
ewwww. i remember when i used to live way out of town in the country and we had wells instead of city water service - often times we'd get rusty water but it'd go away after a few minutes of running the tap. nothing ever like this though.
"perfectly safe to drink"?! pshaw. whatever.
on a completely unrelated subject, is Stardust out in your neck of the woods? 'cause if it is, you totally need to see it. i saw it this evening and it totally freaking rocks. hardcore. it's awesome, yo!
Nigs- It's the prohibition all over again... but slightly more surreal.
Hageltoast- I know! Thankfully it was back to normal by the time we got in from work.
Korova- You're only saying that because it looks like water that's been filtered through pot noodles.
Aliemalie- Apparently a water pipe had burst somewhere in our area which had stirred up all the water in the surrounding pipes. As some of them are a ceramic flowerpot type of material they end up with a load of brickdust lying on the bottom which got disturbed as all the water rushed about. If anyone did dare drink it they could have given a whole new meaning to the phrase 'shitting a brick.'
As for Stardust I don't think it has reached here yet but I am really looking forward to seeing it. The book it is based on was written by Neil Gaiman co-author of a certain book called 'Good Omens' you may be familiar with.

Hey neath, check your neathworld-blog email account. It contains vital information!!
Korova- If this is a dancing badger pic again, I won't be happy...
