Ma Mere Goes Shopping

Becky had class all day including a midterm. She left at 8am and didn't get out until 6:45pm. That left me with a day to myself. It rained so sleeping in was the thing to do. But by noon I decided to venture out on my own with a list of things to get for Becky's apartment, especially a blanket. Nights have been cool lately and the apartment only had 1 small blanket not big enough for the 2 of us to share. Becky's been wearing a jacket to bed and I was using towels for extra cover.

I managed to locate the mall and the Eurodif--which Becky likens to a mini K-Mart. I managed to find a blanket and bedspread. The sizes were in centimeters and I was wishing I remembered my conversions.Actually I just opened one up and figured out the size.

From the Eurodif I went to the Monoprix to get a few more things. By the end I had 4 "bags full" sort of like the nursery rhyme. Lugging them home was heavy and I didn't take the most direct route. I was probably going in circles.

Here's a picture of my  haul:

The new bedspread

The rain ended and I went for a run on the Promenade. A gray day,slightly breezy.

I met Becky at her school and we walked home together. We stopped to eat  Socca. I didn't think I would like it but it wasn't all that bad.

A relaxing night watching Prince of Persia.

As I write this, Dick is at Chicago O'hare waiting for his flight. Tomorrow, there will be a transportation strike here in France and he will likely have trouble getting here. I'm anxious to have him come so he can enjoy this experience too.

A Bientot.
