Third day running…
…with no running water. A good excuse to hole up at home, except that I have a non-postponable meeting tomorrow morning and should, or rather have to, take a shower before then, unless I want to chase away all other customers at the cafe where the meeting is.
There’s always hope.
By the way, what’s this spiel on BBC World about a rapprochement between the US and old Europe? They say (and have been repeating ever since Condy spoke at Sciences Po last night, after a hilarious intro by some dude who spoke hilarious English, underlining what a great school they were and how international and all that…) that the success of Iraq’s elections has prompted the French to reassess their relationship with the US. But the BBC doesn’t ell us — were they maybe hoping the elections would fail? Are they disappointed?
