Leith Docks
My 8 years old daughter has to self-isolate at home this week due to a fever with a runny nose. Her nasal swab test came back negative yesterday. She jubilantly announced her relief. I decided to take a half-day off from work today and take her to the Waterstone in Ocean terminal and stock up her holiday reading list. When we drove along the Water of Leith, she asked if the Water of Leith is the same as the water of Lethe (one of the five rivers of the underworld of Hades: the river of forgetfulness). Interesting question. I found below in the Wikipedia: Leith derived from lejth meaning 'damp, moist'. The word lethe means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment" in classic greek.
*The photo was taken at the Leith docks (not to be confused with Lethe).
