A Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwich was what I made as comfort food after a weekend of water and power issues, while having guests in our BnB I must add!
The geyser burst Thursday morning in the guest cottage, guests were expected that evening! It was a public holiday and the plumbers could not find a geyser until we said we'd pay up front and claim back from the insurance, suddenly the geyser was obtainable and the crisis was averted in time!
We have something called Loadshedding whereby power is switched off block by block for two hours at a time - we fortunately are in a block that's hardly ever affected, but this Thursday night we had the power cut as the guests arrived, fortunately still light! Loadshedding is not a nice word around here but has anyone ever heard of a company that asks it's customers to be frugal with it's product - in this instance electricity? Big corruption behind that story, some of my @teamsouthafrica members have already written about this!
Anyone ever been to the Victoria Falls and heard the thunder? A very good friend went recently, could not stop talking about it and shared her photos with me, thank you Pat!
We were awoken by the roar of water thundering right here in our house in the dead of the night - a waterpipe burst under the bath tub and the pressure from the municipal water supply caused a massive pumping action which flooded one entire wing of the house! We could almost swim to the other side of the house!
So how about some comfort food to end all this craziness!
