Irish Observation of the Day #5

Irish Observation of the Day #5 - Faucets. What. The. Heckity Heck.


Ok. So, the faucets here (at least, most of them) have separate spouts for hot water and cold water. That includes the faucets in the bathrooms, the kitchens, etc. 

Here’s the problem with that…. The water is either SCALDING hot or FREEZING cold. No such thing as washing your hands or dishes in plain old, wonderful, warm water. 

Instead, do you feel like burning the top layer of skin off your hands, insuring that they are nice and clean? Or are you feeling risky and would like to take a nice hand ice bath instead? 

I know. They both sound so tempting. 

It’s hard to decide for us too some days. 

I think this particular observation is best summed up by a picture the lovely Courtney Quist sent me:
