wait-listed

Seven different appliance stores (count 'em!) with Elvo as my valiant search party leader, yet not a single fan! Every store was out of stock, and only the last of them expected a shipment at some time TBA next week. Apparently this is a very hot summer for Belgium--the highest averages are for the months of July and August, and they are a mere 71° F. Rather like summer in San Fran sans fog!

I've been so ill that Ingrid has fled to Paris for the two days that I'm playing concerts in Gent and Ieper. I'm excited about Ieper since I have nothing to prove and it's a new stomping ground for me, but with Geert and Liesbeth listening in Gent while I struggle not to get to ill in the playing cabin, I'm not feeling enthusiastic.
