Boiler oh Boiler...
Today the hot water boiler went from bad to worst. It all started with a small drip and ended up with a massive leak. So we have to shut the boiler down and call our landlord to have a look at it. He then called the engineers to come but they broke their promise to come. Then they promised to come on Wednesday. They opened up the boiler and water was already in the unit. There was also a broken spring that needed to be replaced. They went back to order the spare part. They called back and said that the spring will be delivered on Monday. WHAT?? 5 days without hot water and heating?? But what we do? So we have to take shower the traditional way, fill up the water kettle and mixing the boiling water with ice cold water. So only one bucket per shower. Sigh :( . It's just one of those challenges being abroad and during fasting month.
