Things I notice: cool clear water


One summer back in the 90’s , I spent a few nights at the University Women’s Club of Toronto.  It was conveniently located to a number of places I wanted to visit, while waiting for a friend to join me and set off for Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
It was warm day & night.
But I noticed that when I poured a glass of water from the bathroom tap, a film of condensation would form on the outside. The water was cool, not cold. I pondered how the water could be so cold when surely the pipes must have warmed up, as they  do in most parts of Australia in which I have lived. The B & B staff could not help me, they shrugged as if to say they had never thought about it. Well why would they?
Here in Shushan, we have our own water supply, each home that is. The water condenses on the outside of the glass, on the outside of the tap & on the loo tank, (yesterday I thought the loo must be leaking, until I realised it was the condensation.)
 The water is clear, cool and wonderful to drink. Aren’t we blessed?
