The grey in the morning…
This morning, as I looked out my window in a daze, I saw grey… something, pushing up into the air. Smoke! I thought. Oh man, there’s a bushfire on the other side of the gully!! I look closer, and try to wake up. I tilt my head and reslise it doesn’t actually look like smoke, it looks like water. LOTS of water, gushing up into the air.
I roll over to Luke and wake him (he doesn’t like it). “Can you see that?” I ask, and point out the window. The grey there behind the two trees, on the other side of the gully. He sees it, and thinks that it’s water.
I get my phone and call Dad, and then while I’m getting ready for school, Luke and Pepper investigate. They discover a BIG hole in a BIG pipe, and heaps of water IS spurting out everywhere.
Anyway. Dad gets the water turned off, and fixes it at lunch time. So by the time I’m home from school it’s all fixed!!
Oh, btw, my first ‘proper’ day of school today- teaching the whole thing. It went pretty well! I’m blogging my reflections using pretend names etc. over here. Check it out. I’ll probably just blog the exciting and fun things here! Like the HUGE big ‘tv’ I made them today out of a fridge box. Will post photos tomorrow when they’re in it!!

It wasn’t THAT big a hole. In fact, I would say it was quite a small hole. But there WAS lots of water.
