Toilet being the room. It's ON the toilet in the toilet.

Coming.

And I'm sure it would take a dim view of anybody peeing on/in its perch... }:-/

(It might exclaim, "Put that away, Sir! I'm sitting here!")

If someone needs to use the shower or bath, the toilet is still free to use for those who need to go.

And that, to me, is WHY you keep the plumbing separate. Makes sense to me, to do it the Aussie way. It also makes more sense if you host a lot of parties and want more than one bathroom accessible, but want to keep the rest of your bath space more private.

About the only thing I take issue with is the Aussie loo where yes, there is a toilet in its own room, but NO SMALL SINK IN IT TOO. That seems to be incredibly stupid and unsanitary... you *should* be able to wash your hands right after using the toilet, and not need to wash your hands in another room.

My little bathroom does have a sink! I hate not having a sink.

I was thinking the exact same thing. What an odd birdbath!

YAY!

Gotta watch that pub food.

Well, that explains the plumbing problem...

...of course you do. If anybody else said that, I'd think they were hallucinating, but with you, it's just another day.

I thought everyone has an ibis in their bathroom. You mean this is unusual?

[identity profile] janetmiles.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Precisely.

[livejournal.com profile] jazzerat says you're saying it like it's a bad thing.

[identity profile] dewhitton.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just saying.

[identity profile] walkertxkitty.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
*blink* Okay...I know what an Ibis is, but what's it doing in the toilet?

[identity profile] dewhitton.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
sleeping. It's standing on the closed lid.

Only in Australia!

One got into the house by mistake once. It wasn't happy to find the bathtub empty. I wish I'd gotten pictures of the silly thing roosting in my kitchen sink with the dishes.

Those beaks are sharp, by the way, and not much fun when pointed at you.

I'll bet it leaves the seat up, too.

On a completely different note: News: Shrews booze. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7530720.stm)

Dude... you gotta cut out those late night curries...

It's when it start's *hunting* that you have to watch out;)............
What kind of Ibis?

[identity profile] tavella.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't they rather large birds?

[identity profile] dewhitton.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That's why it's in the bathroom. I didn't have a large enough cage to keep it confined.

Big birdie! Yay?

[identity profile] dewhitton.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
No bone injuries, so a few days R&R will fix it. Yay!

You can get a cream for that nowadays.

Better not flush, then.
