Nine Tenths

Seven tenths of the surface of the earth is water. I read that in a book. Our bodies are seven tenths water, and that was in the same book. But the book was written several years ago. Now the icecaps are melting, so much for the earth, and I've been nine tenths water since last Saturday.

That is a conservative estimate, at two tenths extra, one for each nostril. although to be honest water ( let us call it water ) has not been emerging in equal proportions on either side.
First the right nostril had the heavy running, now it's the left.

Not like the water that was spewing out from under the Torrens Weir the other day, when we went for a walk and made that our turning point. We stopped in the middle of the weir bridge and looked down over the railing at the overflow. It spurted out in two identical plumes of white crosshatched toothpaste spit water, roaring and fuming, a mere columnella apart.
