Well, we've had an interesting time since the toilet broke on Saturday (don't ask, don't tell). We had hoped to have it fixed on Tuesday, but got the news that they couldn't get here until sometime next week (looong after we left). Then, at one point, there was talk of buying a new toilet but, shortly after that, came the news that the plumber could come Thursday morning (today). Woot!
Turns out that a wet wipe was the culprit - sort of. Before, when flushed, it sounded like Godzilla and King Kong were in there doing a spastic tango; now the thing practically purrs. After hearing the "new and improved" flush, methinks it was time for a new engine anyway.
So, the good news is that the toilet works. The bad news is that the city is doing maintenance on the water system and we're without water until "sometime this afternoon." If I'd only been able to read the flyers posted on every door in town - including the one on the entrance of this building - advising that the water would be shut off today... (BTW, irony or just an unpleasant coindence?)
In the over all scheme of things in life - and taking into consideration the horrific events taking place in Myanmar and China - we have no problems. And we're in Paris having no problems. Life doesn't suck:)

Update - We have water!
