The plumber came early yesterday morning, and dug up the pipes to discover that a pipe had split quite near the one that split the first time. Last time he said that the split was caused by soil movement. Presumably the same again. But perhaps the area around it should have been filled with sand rather than clay, both originally and when he did the last repair? It definitely will be this time! Fortunately he used quicker setting glue this time, so instead of 24 hours of no water at all, it was only 6 or 7 hours. And I missed a lot of that because I was in the city. Running water - luxury!

Such a beautiful flower. I love the fluffy look of all its petals and the deep rich colour.
It is strange the pipe only breaks in this section, you wouldn't think soil movement could be isolated to one spot. Hope the sand does the trick and you have constant flowing water.
Stunning deep colour. Hoping the problem is fixed and your tank water is flowing again, water is so precious.
What a gorgeous blue-red color--with tones of ebony in there too..it's hard to find such reds in fabrics--most of the ones I see have the orangey tint to them..
We all forget how precious water on tap is...;)))
hugs, Julierose
