I am half way through a gripping account of the famous sinking of the Lusitanea during the first world war by the German U- Boat U-20.
I had been torn between keeping it on my bedside table for bedtime reading, or leaving it in the long-drop for accompanying reading.
In the end the loo won the day.
With disasterous consequences as it turns out.
Skye visited the loo earlier today, and in following my instructions to keep the solid drop dry, she did a mid poop shift to the wet loo to have a pee, leaving the lid of the dry, solid loo open next to her.
Then she unfortunately reached for the loo paper, and in doing so, unbelievably, sunk the Lusitanea for a second time.
No German involvement required (if you discount the fact that Skye has a German passport)
Not only that, but my second loo-reading book, the MUCH NEEDED “Guide to East Coast Fishing”, followed the Lusitanea into the murky depths.
This has ruined my day in several ways.
1. I was only half way through a pretty good read.
2. I have lost two good books.
3. My fishing is not in a position to withstand any further set-backs.
I also now find it terribly difficult to relish my quite time on the loo quite as much as I did before, knowing that I am desecrating the printed word below, which I was raised to revere.
You try it and see.

Clearly, you need bookshelves, maybe even ones with lockable panel doors installed in your "facilities"? In fact this could double up as storage for loo rolls, etc. Clever, hey?Bombs Away!
ReplyDeleteHey Charles..enough about your loo.If you have seen the movie slumdog millionare you will learn how to jump in and get your book out.

How's the lemon grass growing. Send us some pictures of the fields of lemon grass and the school building.Lv your fav mother-in-law
I agree with Louise! We all believe that you have the outhouse problem solved satisfactorily. You're leading me to believe that you are an anal retentive. What's happening in the veggie garden, with the lemongrass project, chickens, bee keeping, milk cows, etc. How are Sonja's projects moving along? You should have harvested and divided the lemongrass we planted in August. And planted as much more as you could obtain in SA. The incubator will never be solvent if viewed only from your privy door. I am just now planting my 2009 lemongrass crop, since it is spring, glorious spring. Wish there were some (cheap) way to get you a bunch of plants in September. Hey - I forgot - how did that lavender do? It should have loved that stoney soil.
