the joys of a flush

Never take your flushing for granted. Appreciate it. The Nivelles Commune heard our desperate cries and sent some gallant knights in shiny armour, riding on a huge beast of a machine with mechanical snorting rocket engine pipes, suction contraptions and more extravagant pumping devices. They pumped and sucked all day, removing the SS debris from the ancient street sewer. A relief in more ways than one for sure. 

Je vous remercie pour votre dévouement pour nous sauver.

Furthermore, the builders are coming back tomorrow as the deepfreeze is thawing! But the kitchen man did not arrive for our rendezvous, hmmm... this kitchen remains elusive.
