Now, I'm really feeling the need to go home and check my pipes...
I'm trying to remember if I turned on the water in the kitchen this morning. Unlikely. The bathroom was still running though.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Thanks for all the fish.
If it's running in one place it'll be fine in other places. Besides, you undoubtedly flushed your toilet, and that's how I first noticed the no water thing.

I hope they thaw and there's no breaks, Anita!

Thanks for all the fish.
So do I. Damn, this is not the way I wanted to start my day.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
pipe-ma to you, Elena!
I'm really looking forward to the temperature going up above -5C this weekend. That will feel nice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, gentle warmth to you, Elena.

Thanks for all the fish.
WOO!
The water is running! And there seem to be no broken pipes!
Brian used the blow dryer on the cold water split-off and now we have flow!
WOO!
I can bathe!

Hi y'all...delurking to say how happy I am that it seems I did not miss new Angel last week! I too have to watch it on Space, but I was away last week and hadn't got organized enough to set up the VCR. But I wasn't sure if I'd missed the new ep last week or not. Something to look forward to this week!
And to intruduce myself - I am not currently an Atlantic Canadian, but was born and raised in Northern New Brunswick. I now live in Yellowknife.
So all this talk of cold...yeah. I feel your pain. Because the thing about living in YK is that at least you know the cold is coming, and cars/houses/clothing are designed to handle it. My car, in addition to having a block heater, has something called a battery blanket. I'd never heard of it before moving up here.
Not sure how often I'll post, but I've been reading along for a while (this is a thread I can actually keep up in, unlike that insane Natter place), so thought I should say hi.

Thanks for all the fish.
Hi Sophie! And, really, growing up in Northern New Brunswick you'd have seen your share of hideous weather.
I spent my high school years in Saskatchewan, so I understand cold.
