Amen to that! I spent virtually all of Salute shopping - from about
10:15 
am to about 17:00 pm, and even so I didn't manage to get to all the
dealers 
I wanted to buy from... which was probably fortunate, since the stuff I
did 
buy in England (both at Salute and at the various museums I visited
during 
the past week) added up to about 20 kg. Most of it books, though.

No, I don't want to think about what my bank account looks like right
now - 
though it should still be in the black, since Salute was right after pay

day. Yes, I did have a rather extensive shopping list...

<chuckle> And at the moment there's more of it than usual. Don't be 
jealous, though - my hair has a kind of life of its own, and it is 
virtually impossible for it to look proper for more than about five 
minutes... which is not always a good thing at work :-/ (And for
domestic 
reasons, cutting my hair is not a particularly viable option either :-/
)
