水道の受水槽が満水になった。
シャワーを浴びて体を洗って身も心も蘇った。
汚れた食器を洗った。
鍋やフライパンから食べなくてよくなった。
この事は精神衛生上甚だよろしい。
落語の ときそば に ものは器で食う というくだりがある。
まさにそのとおりだ。
手と唇で器の感触を感じると感じじないでは味に天地の開きがある。
昨日、水が出ないのでなんとかしてくれ(勿論丁重にお願いした) という趣旨を送った水道局と水道の管理会社には丁重な御礼のメールを送った。
洗濯をしなければシャワーを3回浴びてもこの水量があれば3日はらくに持つ。
貧乏性なので洗濯は控えている。
My water storage tank is full.
I took a shower and washed my body, feeling completely revitalized in both body and spirit.
I washed the dirty dishes.
I no longer have to eat straight out of pots and pans.
This is excellent for my mental well-being.
There is a passage in the *rakugo* story "Toki Soba" that says, "The vessel makes the meal."
That is absolutely true.
There is a world of difference in taste depending on whether or not you can feel the texture of the vessel against your hands and lips.

Yesterday, I sent a message to the water bureau and the water management company asking them to do something about the lack of running water (a request I made politely, of course); today, I sent them a polite email of thanks.
If I don't do laundry, this amount of water will easily last me for three days, even if I take three showers. I have a poverty mentality and get anxious about running out of water, so I'm holding off on doing laundry.
