A Slight Inconvenience

For a while there was sign on the elevator door that water would  be turned off in this building on Monday. Surprise, it didn't happen. Surprise, it happened today.


So, after a breakfast of light toast, we went out again to explore the neighborhood. I say light toast because we are working our way through a loaf of bread as insubstantial as cotton candy. Bread science has now made possible a slice that looks like the real thing but can be crumpled down to the size of a pea due to air content. I thought someone asking for bread and getting a stone was bad enough. But getting air?

Already we long for good old Première Moisson bread where a slice is more than tasty, it's a bread steak. I feel optimistic we will find genuine bread here, now that we're alert to the issue. We'll let you know.
