What a weekend

What a weekend indeed!

I planned to get my hair cut and have a deep pampering facial (I´m getting a little spotty and I don´t like it). What I got instead was another bout of sinusitus - making the thought of anyone touching my head stomach turning.

However, I did go to the cinema to see Shrek III - better than Shrek II - and got a coughing fit right in the middle of Pinocchio´s desperate attempt not to tell a lie. Must see it again. That was Saturday. On Monday (Independence Day here) I went to the Fiera de Mataderos (Guacho Market) and bought bread, cheese and olives.

But the big news of Monday was that it snowed, here, in Buenos Aires. According to the meteorological office this was the first snowfall in BsAs for 89 years. The people went wild and it was the lead story on the news channels. People were interviewed by tv crews, saying how this was the first time they´d seen snow (except, of course, when they´d been skiing in Bariloche). People went outside with their cameras and phones and took pictures. People built snowmen (albeit the size of rubber ducks). Then it all stopped and everything went back to normal.

Ho hum...
