Another frustrating day waiting for the plumber who, surprise, surprise, did not arrive again. This is growing old. No need to say any more except that it is especially frustrating during Christmas week when we have shopping to do. Once again we did the separate bit which is not nearly as much fun as going out together. Virginia went out early and found that it was a madhouse on the streets with everyone trying to get their last minute shopping done.
She came back looking somewhat frazelled around 1.00 and I then went out. My experience just confirmed hers. Buses and the Metro were jammed full although most people seemed to take it all in their stride and were quite cheerful about it. You may remember some time back I mentioned the "illegal" cigarettes. Well, down around TATI, there were dozens of street sellers who, in addition to selling knockoffs of well known perfume brands and belt buckles hawked these cigarettes.
