Civilisation in decline

Our water supply failed twice yesterday.  I’ve been driving gingerly of late to avoid potholes that threaten to wreck tyres and suspension, and the water station was a severe test.  It seems I was caught on film when I went to collect bottled drinking water, and the clip has now been shown on national tv.  It would be nice to be recorded for something a bit more positive.  What is our little world coming to? 

It’s a great comfort to have kind friends in our life.  We had a good lunchtime bash on Saturday as guests of  Jenny and Andy, together with their family and friends.  Today I had the company of a German conversation group at the home of one of our out of town members.  I gathered up three of our local members on the way, and enjoyed their company en route just as much as the conversation session.
