It was nice of the plumber to come to us even if it is a non-working day. He knows that we are in a bit of a rush now with the bathroom because it’s been days since our last proper shower. Today he mounted the bath tub and the shower plate. Good. But we can’t have proper shower yet because the bathroom is not yet tiled. The tile guy will just come on Monday and also, that doesn’t mean we can use it right away   (after laying the tiles) because the tile glue will need at least 24 hours to dry. So it looks like we can just have a “proper shower” on Tuesday evening. Yesterday, that though really annoyed me but right now, I am okay that the “proper shower” will just be on Tuesday evening because we can make the “tabo shower”.

That means, I could fill some pails with water, sit on the bath tub, and use a “tabo”  (“dipper” in English) to pour water on me. I could of course just fill the tub with water and have a bath but the state of the bathroom right now does not make me want to stay there for more than 15 minutes. So I think, a quick tabo shower is the most convenient. I’m cool with that because for me, it will just be like the old times in my grandparents’ house. In those times, there was no way to take a shower other than to take a tabo shower. It worked perfectly then so I think it will still work now.
