"Strange," I think as I approach it. "Someone's watering it."
Then it dawns on me. The kids are behind me in the guinea- pig run. That's the hosepipe! Someone has left it on and the hose has split with the heat and the pressure and there's water spraying everywhere!
A mad sprint up the garden to turn off the tap and I return to survey the damage. The ground is soaking. Fortunately most of the water has gone onto my veg and my squash and sweetcorn are looking very happy.
But that's not the point.
We're on a water meter.
And I'm not looking forward to getting my next water bill.
The guinea pig's fine though and here he is, back in his run, minus tick :-)
No, I wouldn't want your water bill either, but so pleased the guinea pig is well. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! I mean for your hosepipe bursting and you on a water meter! Good grief!!
ReplyDeleteBut YAY!!! for the lovely guinea pigs!!! Awwww look at them - they're adorable!!
I hope your water bill won't be so bad - fingers crossed!
Take care

Your pigs are very cute. Just had to have one of mine to the vet recently - bladder stone surgery. Much more expensive than leaving the water on...
ReplyDeleteGave them both a bath yesterday - it's really hot!!
ReplyDeleteThe veg is flourishing - must have something to do with that extra dousing of water!
