5 am – get up and get ready for work
6.15 – leave home and walk to work, this involves carrying a backpack with laptop, lunch, water, books and change of clothes, and importantly my trusty umbrella.
7.30 – start work
12 – Lunch
13.00 – continue working
17.00 – home time
18.00 – arrive home
Next couple of hours are taken up with cooking an evening meal, preparing lunch for next day, having a bath if the water is on, and preparing drinking water. This involves boiling numerous kettle loads of water and then transferring the water into the bowl to cool down ready to go into the water filter. Need to filter about 5 – 6 litres a day. This is supposing that there is no interruption of either electric or water supply. If there is then it is just waiting and hoping that it comes back on again. So far this week we have had no water for 2 mornings, and it is only Wednesday. As am out all day at work don't know how long it is being turned off for. We always make sure that we have spare buckets full of water for some essentials though.
20.00 – relax by either reading, computer games, watching a DVD on laptop
21.00 – usually ready for bed by then and go to sleep to the howling/barking dog chorus as a backdrop.
