No good deed goes unpunished.

“Atom and Nuka” / “Astro’s First Love” - 1983

Thank you. For some reason this instantly brought back memories of my childhood devastation of Astro Boy losing his love.

Oh no, I think I remember this scene, is it Astro Boy?

We have the electric booster and it’s used most days throughout winter but we get pretty cold and cloudy here. We also have solar panels to supplement the power and that helps a lot.

Can I have a job with you please?

You caught me out, it was while I was dressing after my shower.

I just had a shower and while I was in there I was thinking about how I could become more like you. Could you give me some advice please?

That’s very astute of you but have you ever had a shower in under two minutes and washed your whole body? There isn’t much time to think past the focus of scrubbing, rinsing and ensuring maximum water goes into the bucket.

You must be truly exceptional.

Fk living in a flood plain under a resevouir. I think I would die a little from stress each time it rained.

Thoughts taken:

Is the water running into the bucket when heating?

Is the water warming yet so I can get my head under comfortably and wet it to get shampoo in?

Quick, get the shampoo rub it in before I need to add cold so I don’t get burnt.

Water is perfect now, that’s nice. Turn and rub it in.

Is it warm enough in the bathroom so I can afford to turn off water and lather myself?

Ok, now i’m lathered, let’s get those hard to reach places.

Turn on the water. Try to aim for taps to be at the same position so I don’t get burnt. (I have temperature variation from solar hot water)

Rinse, quick, let’s rinse. Dont fall over the bucket Gnugit!

Turn off taps now and quick, dry your hands so you can reply to Sprunt on lemmy.

Oh, the shower timer only says ~1/4 of 4 minutes this time, that was efficient.

Hmm, maybe I can finally make a post to c/showerthoughts…

Yes?

I feel for those in arid climates that can wait literally years for rain. Luckily here where we normally get 9 months of rain we are still looking at about 3-4 do there will be no worries about collecting rain water to survive.

Lucky you. The rising temperature has driven the low pressure systems south and they mostly seem to be bypassing the whole south of australia. I hope this doesn’t mean now we will start getting cyclones where we are at…

Can you ship some of that water to me please?

I can get behind this, I often count little things that cost and justify it by expenditure on entertainment.

We have a solar water heater so the heating is next to free.

$55aud/month currently for the water we use.

Quick, call Rev. Gabriele Amorth so I can enjoy my damned blessed showers again!
