for granted

Early yesterday morning, a pipe decided to burst somewhere in SS2. THe result? We had no water all day. At first they said the water will be back by noon. Noon became 3, which became 6, which became 7, which became 9...and then, they stopped answering the phone.

I was washing up before bed after coming home from a place called KTZ with the friends (they have some pretty strange things). I had left the water running for a bit, and then I had a moment. When was the last time I turned on a tap and not expected clean water to come gushing out? We're such fools.
