Aztecs ahoy

[mandragora]

The Aztec Exhibition was superb and is highly recommended. Knackering, though. I picked-up an audio guide and had to concentrate heavily, as well as trying to squeeze my way through the crowds.

It was very well-designed, though. The rooms themselves were decorated in an Aztec theme and there was marvellous exhibit after exhibit after exhibit, some of which were amazingly rare and precious. At the end of it we were all exhausted, not surprising after two and a half hours of intense concentration.

I met up with a group of friends for lunch beforehand in a lovely French restaurant called Boudin Blanc in Shepherds Market. thermidor, you would love it! LMK if you're interested in a trip there some time. All of those lunching agreed that it was just as good as a Conran restaurant, but rather cheaper.

And then back home to sort out some chores, only to discover that just as I'd suspected before I went out, yes, my fridge really has packed up on me. Sigh.

So, tomorrow at some point I am going to have to buy a new one, on the basis that the existing fridge is 10 years old and therefore really not worth repairing. I just hope that they can deliver soon, otherwise I'm in trouble foodwise as I have no way of keeping food cool.

Bugger!

Ooh, good idea. I'm in my nightwear at present and have no intention of going out tonight but could go to the supermarket tomorrow. Ice is terribly expensive here but at least I could keep things cool(ish) until the new fridge is delivered. Which I am hoping will be soon, um, after I've bought it, of course.
