How I long for one of these!
My water's been turned off and I forgot to fill the kettle! Can't face making coffee with milk, so I will hang on and be patient whilst S, who is redesigning the bathroom, demolishes the contents with gusto, banging and hammering and force feeding the skip with the contents of his handiwork! I am longing to peep in the room, which is directly above where I am sitting....but instead I will try and think caffeine-free thoughts and plan a little mind diversion. This is no easy task when the ceiling sounds as if it will come down around my ears!
Even my chickens have water.....(sound like the prodigal son and the pigs....)
Thoughts lead to gratitude, what is an hour or so? It is so easy to take water for granted isn't it? I sit here thinking of all the jobs I could do whilst the water is off, but look at the list that came into my mind:
Washing up....
Handwash some tops...
Clean a camping table which has been in our garage for about 15 years and needs to find a new home.
Go to the loo!
Make some more gooseberry jam, nope needs water at the start....
No brainers....
So instead I practise thankfulness and enjoy watching the thrush, from my armchair, eating the amelanchier berries. The strains of Radio 2 filter down the stairs whilst S whistles and sings along to the songs.
I smile to myself, the coffee can wait.
