July 16-19

Thursday July 16

We went out and had a bit to eat. Then we went to the hairdresser where I got a haircut which cost 9 euros. The girl did a good job.

When we went to another place to get something to drink, Carol called to say she can pick Jayne up. Jayne had to see about the electric and why they charged so much. I stayed home when she went with Carol. When Jayne got back she said that the man was very nice and had things checkout for her.


Friday July 17

We went to the bank so Jayne could do some banking. I also changed two 100 euro notes to see if I would get the same problem as I did in England. There was no problem – thank God. I gave it to one teller and asked for 20s. Since she didn’t have any, she gave the bills to another teller. Then he gave me the 20s. Neither one of them took a careful look at it nor did they put in under some light. So, at least they take their own currency.

Then we ate at the restaurant that has internet. I brought my power cord and was able to plug it in there. There is only one outside connection, and I’m glad that we were able to sit which gave me more time on the net.


Saturday July 18

We went out to the store to buy a newspaper and have something to eat. I also bought a Russian newspaper so I don't lose more of the Russian I already have.


Sunday July 19

We did our regular routine – buying a newspaper (Daily Mail) and getting a snack at a restaurant.

Carol called to say that she will buy tickets to the ballet online. She likes the ballet but I don’t. Jayne said she will pay for her ticket, too. She said this because Carol’s help the other day without her charging for her time. The ballet will be tomorrow evening at 10pm – that’s if tickets are still available.
