Del finished his report to the Fulbright people today, and I went to the market to pick up veggies and fruit for lunches until we leave. It is interesting to see how many new things are turning up each week. Today I was able to get some green peas, which I plan to eat raw, cherries and little pickling cucumbers. There were also little bunches of some sorts of salad greens that I didn't recognize. We decided we would have dinners out so I didn't need much.. I also did a bit of Christmas shopping, which was fun.
I packed the two largest suitcases today and made another pile of things to take to Humana. I also have a pile that can go if there is enough room or can go in the Humana pile. I don't feel as though we bought that much stuff, but I have no doubt we will be suitcase shopping come Thursday. The packing will include robbing Peter to pay Paul to make the weight come out right, but that always happens and is the reason we carry a little luggage scale if we plan to buy so much as a handkerchief and a box of Altoids. We may ditch some unmentionables rather than take them home dirty. Not having a dryer means no last minute washing, and frankly, they have more than done their duty.
We talked to our little friend Joris tonight. He was quite excited to talk to us. He and his daddy had spent the week end with grandparents. His mom had to teach so she couldn't go. The doctor has decided that the rash was allergy instead of chicken pox, so he is going strong, and we will see them Wed. night. He has been asking his mother when he would see Rosa and Betty.
We are enjoying the music at the jazz club tonight. We are not there, of course, but it sounds great through the open window.
If you are FB friends, be sure to check out the pictures Tracy and David are taking in London. They are all on a 12 hour Harry Potter tour today, so the pictures should be something else.
