Sweaty shopping again

We've just spent a sweaty hour or two in a kind of discount depot which sells second hand and new household textiles and clothes. We've been here before, Anna, rigo's housekeeper is invaluable, she checks every sheet we buy and every towel, we need 60 of each for the Los quinchos centres in San Marcos and 10 of each for el barrilete. She chooses, we fold, it's an echo of when we used to fold sheets with our mother. It's a good workout. We get a discount, 5 per cent, not much for such a big purchase but every dollar counts, it comes to 357 dollars. We leave with two huge bags which we certainly can't carry, find a taxi big enough to carry all this and us (there are a lot of small, new taxis in Leon, no good for this job) home, and in a very British way put the kettle on and make a cup of tea.
