Barely up at eight when two men arrive wiith a new television to replace the one that didn't get the satellite chanel LTV. They've also brought a brand new two burner hotplate, replacement for the single burner one we had before, as well as a stainless steel frying pan and a tin opener as we requested. Very nice.

Damp on the pavements and cloudy still, but we go to our favourite bakery for the large loaf of dense rye bread studded with sesame seeds. It's still hot. And we treaat ourselves to two koulouri, bagel shaped and similarly studded. Then Metro supermarket, now on Christmas hours so no early closing Saturday, and a quick stop at the market where we get a cauliflower and fresh figs, which I barely recognize, never having eaten them. Followed by a Greek coffee at Jimmy's corner café by the hairdresser's. Seems like we should be meeting Maggi and Magne here as we always used to.
