Whatever next?

(1972 January 21)

Yesterday I phoned Naeema Malik to come over for a cup of tea, and as I was on the way to put the kettle on, here came two men from the city water department to turn off the water and install a new water meter as mine no longer worked. Whatever next? Well, didn't take them too long, and soon Gen. Taft came with a problem in her crocheting, and soon Naeema with baby, and we had water again and therefore soon were drinking tea.
