Water, water everywhere, but not in our house!


My new home education system is in place! We worked on reading, writing, music and maths skills after breakfast then threw some food, the wetsuits, the inflatable boat and spades into the car and went to Faros Beach at Pervolia, for er... outdoor education, yes that's it! The kids played in the boat, rowing like mad against the wind and waves (physics), swam in the sea (physical education) and drew pictures of horses and dinosaurs in the sand (art).
We got home windswept and salty, but alas! no water coming out of the taps in the house! So the older two got in the very cold pool to rinse off the salt water (is chlorinated water any better?) and Sam got a quick rinse in the bath with some warmed bottled water. I went to make them some hot chocolate to warm up, but alas! no milk in the fridge. Sigh.....
The water came back on for 2 hours late afternoon then went off again. It wasn't enough to fill our tanks, so there's only a dribble coming out of the taps. Fingers crossed for the morning...!!!
