This is still the first week of the third lock down. Our neighbour's blue plastic water drum's connecting inlet pipe has been leaking every night for the past few days. Well, I actually lost count of how many nights it had been raining the entire time. Rain water, leaking tap water, all flowed down to the drain. Water signifies wealth in the Chinese culture. Of course it is not good to waste clean drinking water, but what can a person do under lock down? Plumbers are not listed under essential workers, neither is electrician! Everyone is told to stay home and avoid contact to others so as not to spread COVID.
My son laughed at the ancient Chinese: water can mean wealth! Animal droppings could mean money(guano). Why can't the hundreds of rodents in the storm drain mean gold? Now! Wait a minute! I seemed to remember a story called Goldern hair rat... will type it as the next blog.
