A beautiful morning

Yesterday didn't begin like all the other days. When I woke up in the morning I saw that it was dripping a little bit of water from the tube that goes between the wall and the basin. I knew it had done it last night too, but then I was just too tired to care about it. But, now it was a new day and I thought it needed to be fixed. I moved over to have a closer look at it, I wanted to see if I could fix it myself or of I would have to tell the people working at the hostel. As I bent down and touch the tube -I hardly touched it all!- it said "PLONK" and the tube fell on the floor and lots of water was coming out of the little hole in the wall and straight into the rest of my room. That took me by surprise...I quickly shut the door to the bathroom and put my thumb over the leaking hole in the wall, wondering what to do next. There I was standing naked and I couldn't really leave my room since someone (= me) had to stand by that leaking hole. I decided to quickly run after my phone and then back to my place in the bathroom. I called my Austrian friend who is also staying at the hostel and asked her for help. She went to get some of the staff while I was still standing in my bathroom naked and with the door to my room locked. So, once again I had to leave my leaking hole in the wall so I could put on some clothes and unlock my door. When Eva, my friend, came with some people working at the hostel I was completely drenched with water and the floor in my room was flooded! Could you start the day in any better way? I thought it was good, because when I woke up in the morning I wasn't feeling too happy, but after this I was just laughing. :o) It all went well, they turned off the water and said they'll fix it the same day. I didn't really believe them, because "today" doesn't have the same meaning here as in Finland. Today could mean tomorrow or next week or never....But, I was lucky and this time "today" really meant tooday, so now everything is fixed and I have a new and very shiny tube in my bathroom.
