The drainage pipe that was blocked on Tuesday was de-blocked the next day, but only after we mopped up and poured over 100 litres of rain and drain water down the shower pipes.
Even during the years that our roof leaked did I never mop up so much water and I felt so bad because it was so much wasted water (plus wet furniture, feet and floor). Thankfully we stayed on top of things before our plumber came and fixed the pipe, I had gone out, not wanting to witness the tragedy that would unfold.
It rained for two days straight, which really would never have bothered me had the rain stayed where it belonged and out of my house.
I know I'm being unfair and closed minded about the weather, but damnit I live in a First World Country, where it rains for only three-to-four months (and that's stretching it) and when it rains and inevitably pours, I demand to remain safe and dry in my own effing house!
I can see I'm getting worked up for nothing so I'll change the subject quickly.
A question (and a precurser to what will likely be my next post at some point): Is it racist to say you dislike a culture, but not necessarily the people, or do the two inevitably get mixed and you end up disliking/hating the culture and people (race/ethnicity) of said culture?
The question arose discussion I had last night and I realise it is very vague, so I'll expand on it later on (hopefully today, but I make no promises and no solemn swears).
