Ripped Sleeve Plus!

It was a visit to Bulgaria from my brother who has a house in a village not far from Yambol. We had got the water and electric back on after a year of non use and we drove him and has friend to his place today.

Although the water was connected, it still needed to be turn on from the main shaft in the garden to run into the house. A simple task, which I didn’t really think would be a problem.

As I approached the shaft it was covered with old planks of wood, which had to be removed, so that's what I did. I was not dressed for this as my clothing was town fashion but a small job unexpected job like this should pose not problems. Huh, one of the planks caught the sleeve of my jacket and ripped hole in it as I levered it away. Bad luck mark one strikes! This wouldn't have happened if I were wearing my blue working dungarees!

Bad luck mark two struck when I turned the water on, brown rusty water spouted up over my best clothes as the water meter that the water had to travel through had sprung a leak! Why did it have to happen to me! I should have let my brother sort it out! That's what you get for helping people!
