Day 3 - Sunday

The final discovery of Fontainebleau. After a round of shopping for family, Tweedledum and I headed off to the open market. The plan was to meet Thomson and Thomson there but by the time we reached, the paella was over and everyone was packing up:-( All we could manage was a grilled chicken and some aubergine paste for mum (have no idea how I'll carry it). No baguettes, no bread. Lunch at T&Ts and off home to at least start the packing. But, while Tweedledum started with his papers, I had to get dinner and the house ready. Our food for Christmas eve - Dal, Rogan Josh, Thai chicken with mixed vegetables, Aubergine in curry, Kottu and vegetable fried rice ending with besan halwa. By the time it was all cooked, I couldnt take the smell of food anymore.
Have downloaded a whole lot of music and pictures from T&T. And discovered Russel Peters (what a crackpot).
Item of the day - have bought a bag for 15 euros! It was urgent. Couln't return home with what I had. There were so many holes in the lining that if the hand goes in, it takes 5 minutes to find the way out again - that to without getting what you were looking for in the first place.
