my daily consumption falls short of the recommended 64 oz, and its difficult enough to deal with. the location of my flat, and my spending habits preclude me from delivery at two of the local groceries, and i dont trust the other, after seeing brownish interpretations of 'packaged drinking water' on the shelves. that leaves me with the nearly constant chore of stocking up on the way home. thankfully ive had over a month to practice.
i know know that i can count on himalayan to taste slightly nasty, but to come reliably sealed. bisleri is a good standby, aquafina and kinley both come with the risk of high chemical content and sometimes come less than properly sealed. scary. i know which stores have a reliable stock of two litre bottles, minimizing as much as possible the inevitable waste. id love to just pick up a 5 litre bottle, but they require deposits, and are delivery only with a minimum purchase of 1000rs.
so. the flat doesnt really have the infrastructure to install an aquaguard, and although im sure i could boil, treat and uv zap my water straight from the tap, id honestly rather not. next step, try to get a water cooler.
after looking at various options, bisleri, with their easy online ordering and 'safety faucet' seemed like the best option. i see the truck all over town. i sent my sms, and presto, someone called me back to confirm, yes, delivery of two 20 litre bottles, a stand, and faucet, either tonight or tomorrow morning. since i cant wait for it home, i left the money with the landlady, she let the security downstairs know. perfect. i am so excited.
that was thursday. its now almost the following wednesday. im not sure what sort of communication mistakes im making, but i call bisleri at least once a day, and they are ever so reassuring, that yes m'am... by 1230/430/630 this afternoon. and still no delivery. so in the meantime, ive gone though another 24 bottles.
thanks, i can set up a bowling alley in my room now.
such a tease.....
