CDR is cold dark room

NOT Crying Dark Room

-5 for arguing.

Never should someone be afraid to cry.

Sorry Mark, but I cannot and will not agree and neither will Adam. We have supported people through many tearful events here. It's not something I can joke about

To cry is human. Not to cry is strange.

Aaagh, but what about the dreaded WhaWha?

Do you mean whining?

That sounds like a lot of work and a lot of thinking how to use your water. By reading your post I thought how precious water is or can be. Sometimes I forget this because we have enough water. 50 ltrs is not much and 25 ltrs is really few.

Unfortunately this is the state of Cape Town currently. It just makes me mad that the government knew this was coming along time ago and they did nothing about it. They should have been looking at desalination plants and aquaducts etc along time ago. If they had we would not have been in the situation we are currently in. We would have alot more ways to get water already available.

Thank you. So do we. Our rainy season is in winter. So I am hoping that this winter is a good one.

Ah, so the snow cap wasn’t attached to it forever? Congrats once again. Looks nice.

Haha, snap! (Yet again )

Whahaha. Even though I eventually saw it was a whale, it still looks like an alien to me.

-10 for crying.

I think by “crying” Mark actually referred to Carol’s disguised attempt to protest the score. I personally found it funny.
Crying in any other sense is welcome whenever one needs it.
I should get some minus points too, by the way. Didn’t know what on Earth that was, and I’ve actually been to the Natural History Museum in London.

Yip it is bad. I have just spent the whole day doing laundry and carrying the water from the washing machine to water the garden. First load/cycle of water goes into the garden (I use an environmentally friendly washing powder). The rinsing water got recycled back to be used again in the first cycle of the next load and the last loads water has been bottled into lots of 5ltr empty water bottles I have saved and will be used for the toilet. When we shower we save that water as well and use it for the toilet and or garden. I buy 5ltr bottled water for drinking and save the empty bottles for the water we save from showering . Baby's soaking water goes into the seedlings I have planted in a planter box. They say from Feb onwards we are only allowed to us 50ltrs per person per day. And they are talking of day zero where we will have to queue for water and each person will only be allowed to take 25ltrs. How we are going to be able to do that and still put in a full day at work is what I want to know, nevermind the people who don't have cars. We will also have to pay for it as we collect, so for those who don't have money I don't know what they are going to do.

I don’t even know how to save water from the washing machine. Sounds like a lot of hard work to do things that many of us take for granted. Hoping for a surprise rain for you soon.

You’re right. I should have said no points for WhaWha ing. Crying permitted.

That’s what I understood. (Skimmed last night, re-reading the posts now.)

Good morning, roommates! Feeling better today, so no more excuse to put off house cleaning and work. *sob* Hope everyone is well and excited about the week ahead.

Thank you Lena. Today seems overcast but not sure if it will result in any rain. We would actually need it to rain consistently for about a month non stop to recover and be at a point where they would relax some of the restrictions. But it is what it is we just have to deal with it.
