No Bulgarian Shower - No Shower

After a really, really hot day working on the farm all we wanted to do was have a shower and relax. It was after 8:00 in the evening and we had finished our chores looking forward the rest of the evening doing nothing. We stripped and walked into the shower only to find that the water had been cut off. Damn! They tend to do this in the village on hot days when people want to water their crops. We just wish we have a Bulgarian shower system made up of a painted black oil drum on the roof that hade been warmed up by the sun all day – a warm shower guaranteed then!
