We don't drink the water anymore (home again)

Jun 27, 2008 00:37

Got home on Saturday, feels odd to be home, though kind of nice. Did have to do a bit of cleaning though as it seems to have been neglected a bit since I was last home (the floor in the living room had clumps of dog hair all over! I vacuumed it once, and I think my older brother has gone over it twice more thoroughly and it still looks dirty. Could be just the vacuum cleaner isn't too good). Also, think I will miss cooking for myself at some point, or at least buying my own food.

As far as the subject goes, that's because there's been a scare here recently and the water board has sent out a message to boil water before drinking it. Been a bit of panic buying with bottled water, seems a bit stupid to me considering all you have to do is boil it :/
Apparently it's some sort of contamination (cryptosporidium) involving animal waste being washed off fields, though that doesn't ring entirely true in my mind, it hasn't rained especially much recently, and it's not as if this is a new problem that has just cropped up.

Might get a summer job at the local shop like last summer, but unknown as of yet. I went to visit a few days ago and the boss there said he would call me the next day. Didn't though, he says he'll call on Monday though :/

Last of all, I've made a cameo appearance in an online webcomic :D
