[Magdalen] After the storm

[Michael Bishop]

I could believe that calculation. I know that years ago my water main 
froze so I was without water for several days. In the end I was 
desperate for some water to flush the toilet! So I spent an entire 
morning with 4 pans at a time on my cooker melting snow. As soon as the 
snow melted I poured it into a bucket and refilled the pan with snow. 
After about 4 hours continuous work, I finally had ONE bucket of water! 
I was about to use it when - you guessed - the water in the main came 
back and I had plenty of tap water for all purposes. I was glad to have 
running water again, but was not happy to have spent an entire morning 
on melting snow!

God bless
