A challenge in the morning...
Okay, it was stupid. Every adolescent young man/boy learns that you should take your shower before you shave. For those who never learnt, there are those shows on TV like "
Queer Eye For The Straight Guy"
But what happened this morning. I applied the shaving gel first and then I opened the tap. No water. Neither hot nor cold water. Okay. Next try: no water in the shower, no water in the kitchen. Actually that was not true. There was water. Bottled water. And I also have a kettle.
Unfortunately I cooked the water, which was okay for the shaving but not necessarily for the rest of the morning washing/showering.
I know that this is no real challenge. But it showed me that I take way too many things for granted, which are not. Hot and cold tap water for example. Or the luxury to have always 10l of bottled water in the kitchen (5l always ice cold in the fridge). I belong to the privileged people.
