Day 26 of 40 Waterworks


Dutchies are renown for water management. No wonder because there is a lot of water here. The Delta Works protect us with various ingenious constructions like dams and sluices. Women resemble waterworks in a way, I think. In times when they build up pressure they retain water (in their bellies and in their joints for example). As soon as the water reaches a certain level the sluices open, noticeable as they have to pee a lot more than usual. When the pressure keeps exceeding more levels, more sluices need to open (visible from tears streaming from their eyes).
Just kidding. Except for the streaming tears part. Can’t help it but the sluices seem to be stuck. I’ll let it go for now. At least it seems to help to remove the liquid of my swollen fingers. Moving houses within a time limit, even though 40 days seemed long enough, sucks.
