I know that I have written MUCH about the pollution, but then there are wonderful mornings like this!

 

Today I went in search of a coffee maker - not having freshly brewed coffee in my "flat" has been almost un"bare"able (I like to drink coffee BEFORE getting dressed!!!  I also picked up a wok, two pans and an iron!!!  Finding the Carrefour was interesting but, thanks to Yuliya from the Ukraine, quite readily available five stops up the number 1 line metro.  I was viewed quite interestingly as I walked carrying my boxes with one hand bandaged!!

YEAH! - I can iron those clothes that come out of the washer "wrinkled" and dryer free!!!
