While in the kitchen earlier I semi-noticed a large truck parked outside. As I'm not firing on all cylinders at the moment, I paid no more attention to it and carried on with my day.
All was calm. I was sorting out some papers and the dog was snoozing on the sofa when there was a loud, gurgling sound from the downstairs toilet; a place I'd just visited...
Kita sounded the alarm as she knew there was nobody else in the house and it certainly sounded like someone was flushing the toilet.
So I went to have a look.
The floor and walls were awash!
I approached the bowl to see what was going on down there. No, I have no idea what I was expecting to see, to be honest, but I got an eyeful of the worst sort.
Just as I drew close the noise happened again and the toilet erupted like a fountain of evilness.
Right in my face.
EEEEEWWW!
So the lorry outside was doing some sort of drain or sewage cleaning. The only swear word I know in German is "Scheiße" but thought it a bit pointless to shout that at the sewage workers.
The now house stinks to high heaven so all the doors and windows are open. It's cold.
I've washed the floor, walls and mats and disposed of the drowned toilet paper.
I have had a long soak in the bath.
It was bad. But would it have been worse if it had happened while I was sitting on the toilet?
