I have decided it's better to stay dirty, or ask Dan to do it. This morning I wanted a shower. Lyn has quite a cool set-up - she has a shower you step into, and close a vacuum-sealed door behind you. You sit in it and it fills up like a bath. I've seen Dan do it a few times, so today I decided to spend time by doing it myself. Big mistake. It was going well at first; my bath was filling up nicely and I was getting pleasingly warm. Then I heard something go bang. I thought nothing of it, until I noticed water leaking out of the tub. Oh crap! I was in trouble. I yelled 'DAN!!!' but he couldn't stem the flow. I mustn't have pressed the vacuum button for long enough.

I felt rather stupid, but Lyn and Dan saw the funny side. Lyn was playing water-related songs all morning. The bathroom floor and the floor in the passage are still rather damp though.

No more baths for me!
