But you could have washed the porcelain plates.....
Sorry...Just remembered the last years of communism when hot water was available just between 7-9 and 20-22. Imagine the race to be home in time for a decent shower.
But even these days you may have surprises. A terrible storm in the area where my cousin has a country house led to a power cut that was remediated in 3 days. No power means also no water. Cold water. So imagine 4 persons celebrating a birthday on candle lights ( that was the romantic part ), missing a football match that we were dieing to watch, collecting rain water to throw on the toilet, watching the fridge defrozing and all our food gone and going to a well to wash our faces and teeth. The best part was when we went on a trip to a posh resort in the neighbourhood fearing we may smell like skunks.
Not to mention that about 4 years ago at my house due to a terrible frost the water got frozen in the pipes and I haven't a drop of water ( cold or heat ) for about 20 days. Having baths and washing laundry at relatives or friends and carrying hundreds buckets of water from the neighbours. That was probably the moment when I started to think seriously about the wasting of natural resources.....

No plans, but I have just been told/suggested to me from head office that I am using two weeks of my accumulated leave, so I have a 5 week break this year, so my plans now might change.
What can I do for 5 weeks with a horribly small budget?

Watch TV and drink beer.
You may also keep me company on the forum while the others will be busy holidaying.
Are you the jealous type?

No I am not the jealous type. I have what I have etc and that is good enough for me.
Are you a competitive person?
