Don't put off until tomorrow what can be done today

Fortunately our building manager,Degii, already warned us last week that soon we would not have hot water for one month.So when I tried the hot water tap last night and no water came....I wasn't too surprised. It takes a little getting used to this situation. Boiling water when we want to do the dishes...boiling water when we want to clean the house...boiling water when we want to take a shower...or make a bath for Reuben which he loves so much. But, at least we still have water. There are times here that we don't have any water at all, try to flush the toilet then! Next week people from our homechurch in the Netherlands will come to visit us and as it looks like now they won't have hot water. Well, this is Mongolia, these things happen here. For the last few days I have started to see the saying 'don't put off until tomorrow what can be done today' in a new light. -Don't decide to have a shower tomorrow because you are too tired now...you might wake up with only cold water. -Don't postpone doing your laundry till tomorrow...you might not have power the next day. -Don't leave the chicken breast in the shop when you need it the following day...it might be sold out by then. This is the first entry on our new blog. We will try to write here regularly and so keep you up to date of our life in Mongolia. For now it is only in English, but if there would be people who would prefer it in Dutch to, please let us know.E
