Like Roger for Chocolate
We missed seeing Roger Federer at the Australian Open. Our Roger substitute: the Lindt Cafe. As you probably know, The Fed endorses Lindt’s Lindor Truffles (and Jura coffee makers, Rolex and whatnot). While walking up and down Collins Street in Melbourne yesterday, wondering what stores were open, we saw the Lindt sign. Chocolate! They also serve sandwiches and tea.
Couldn’t bring home Lindor Truffles though, fearing they’d melt in the checked baggage. They didn’t have those dry ice thingies they have for packaging at Royce and La Truffe.
Across the street is a big Dymocks bookstore carrying classic Penguins and Penguin merchandise. We also got P.G. Wodehouse and Christopher Isherwood books we’d been looking for in Manila.
Which reminds us: Where’s your homework?
At W.H. Smith at the airport we found this beauty:

There are a lot of titles I’m looking for but couldn’t find here in the dessert. I’m thinking of ordering from Amazon that I feel something impersonal about that.
I’ll submit my homework on or before midnight tomorrow, GMT+3 time. That’s a GREAT mug btw, not that I’m having EXPECTATIONS of receiving one once we complete translating our book ;-)
