Haircut. Could in theory leave it to tomorrow or Monday but last minute contingencies have a way of intervening. Incredibly busy (though Saturday would probably have been no better. They don't take appointments and there are ten people ahead of me. Possibly more, as women keep appearing in the doorway to ask questions or shuffle over to the owner, interrupting him as he finishes a haircut to hold brief but serious discussions. Naturally all conversation is in Greek, so there is no way of knowing whether these are entirely innocent requests for information or arrangements for queue jumping. There are actually five hairdressers at work, so ten customers waiting is not as bad as it might seem, and in fact I get taken quite quickly. In fact, I have a method. It seems that if I take an ipad and have either work to do our something serious to read the waiting time will be shorter than is required for the task.
