No light, good torch
8 January 2009
Since December the city has the light two hours and then nothing. My stall had the best week of the year. Not the hats. The torches.
I had 24 hand torches and 400 AA batteries, bought for nothing in October "in case". By Friday I had zero. People stand in front of my stall like in Soviet time at the bread. I wanted to say sorry to the Chinese factory for what I thought about them.
Candles too, but candles come from Mairam. She has a box of 200 under the sacks of rice. She sold them for 2 som each. A thief. A friend.
