The 4 minute shower has seen the death of creativity or certainly given it a good kick in the teeth. I don’t know about anyone else, but I use to do my most creative thinking in the shower – first of course you need to get the business end of the shower out of the way and then full reign is given to day dreaming that can only be found under warm, running water. The danger of course is that when you get out of the shower and get sucked back into the day to day rigors of family life, revelations that came to you in a water logged moment can evaporate just as quickly. I actually know someone that keeps a white board in their bathroom – smart lady. Maybe there is a product that allows you to write on tiles under wet conditions that can also be wiped off tiles? I want it! How much fun could you have with that! Leave messages for the kids like ‘don’t just stand there – use the soap’, teenage sons… it would be like big brother watching. If the family won’t leave you alone whilst in the shower nor should you leave them.
I know we need to be ecologically sound and thoughtful about the future of our continent and children’s, children and conserve our precious resource of water. I think in our endeavours to be careful with water we have not fully weighed up the creative consequences of water rationing and its long term effects on our future dreamers and creators.
