horsemouth hopes he hasn't fucked anything and has done the right thing

 'so? does everyone have their survival kit yet?'- a portuguese friend comments on the power outage.

a walk into ewyas harold using the shady pathway along the edge of the common. 

to pick up a copy of the herefordshire times and a half a loaf of bread for more than horsemouth would normally consider paying for a full loaf of bread. 

on his way up he bumped into neighbours dealing with the having no water issue on his way back he called in to see how attempts to find the leak were going. 

the tank had been refilled. the manhole cover on an inspection pit was opened. two valves were turned there was the sound of flowing water. the valves were shut off again. 

the water seems to be definitively off at his mum's - horsemouth has turned the stopcock in the kitchen (he hopes in the direction of off). he turned off a stopcock that probably services the outdoor taps. and one the other side of the fence pointed out by his brother (that just seemed to rotate round with no resolution). 

ok horsemouth once again hopes he hasn't fucked anything and has done the right thing. 

tonight it is due to rain. this is a good thing because it will water the garden. horsemouth will try and leave some buckets and such like out. 

well it's the morning and it hasn't rained. a crow is preening itself in the nearby treetop looking like a feather duster.
