Reality

Wake up early, breakfast at La Noisette, talk with Sophie, Patricia, Laurent who will all be on holiday for the next two weeks (sigh), buy 5 Euros turtleneck, Rick buys wallet, talk with Brownie Lady and buy brownies, go into Barbara's shop and talk with M&S who are visiting from New York City. Talk with Lydia, buy salmon, buy veggies, see P& C at La Noisette and chat with them, buy flowers. Take flowers to J who is recovering from surgery. Drink much coffee, oh and ah over the progress of their house renovations, exchange a lot of stories including their fascinating visit to Lapland over Christmas (feel as if I were there from description), try and find new Sengalese restaurant, try and convince Rick I really did see a Sengalese restaurant, go home, make lunch, P comes to try and make contact with phone company over problem. P's husband, also called P and dog (not called P) arrive to say phone working, cement plans more or less for Monday night 12th night celebration. Eat lunch, make croutons, clean up lunch, start to clean bathroom but Rick takes over, listen to Max Keiser, decide to take walk to river to see where the needles we scattered were--They've only drifter a couple of feet, buy toothbrushes, basil, strawberry juice, milk. Come home. Now 18:44.

Will start to write.

Problems with the day
