I was going to start this blog post yesterday but the internet connection was intermittent. I wanted to write about the unpredictability of living in Cairo - especially our shower. We recently wrote about the random electricity supply which has improved recently but the warmth of our shower remains unpredictable. One has to be prepared to be scolded or frozen (a slight exaggeration because the cold water is slightly warm which is very refreshing when the daytime temperatures are high). It's either the irregular water pressure or the erratic gas supply that causes the variations in shower temperatures. It adds a little bit of excitement to the start of the day but either way I am always thankful that we have water and that most of the time it is hot. There are many other things that are unpredictable in Cairo especially during Ramadan - oh! I nearly forgot - the political situation is also a little bit unpredictable! P
