This morning I packed my bag with some tzadziki and bread for the lunch break and headed down to the site. When I opened my bag to put the tzadziki in the fridge in the Stoa of Attalus (a building owned by the American School which we use as our HQ), I was dismayed to see that all my stuff was covered with garlicky yoghurt! I salvaged my visa and old passports (which were in good shape in the front pouch), wiped the yoghurt off from my Greek mini-dictionary (a gift from my sister to her mythology-mad little brother at Christmas in 1991), but ended up throwing away my backpack and camera. The backpack was a ten-dollar one I just bought recently. The camera was my sister's digital hand-me-down. It was pretty thoroughly soaked in delectable dip, and I had in any case been having trouble finding a replacement battery for it in Athens and was thinking of getting a new camera anyway.
You threw away my ex-camera??? why didn't you wash it off? Not that it hasn't had a good long life but still!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso why did you have only sauce for lunch? xo
Maybe that was a bad idea but I have money for a new one anyway and it was old and I couldn't find a battery for it.
ReplyDeleteI also had bread in my bag which I tear off in big chunks and dip into the sauce and then devour.
