Tuesday

Today is Tuesday and thankfully the day is over. Thankfully not because it was a difficult day but thankfully because it was a busy day.

Actually we did achieve some success in our search for the right dress. We bought it!

The final tally is that we bought a beautiful dress for our wedding and returned one that didn't fit into anything. So now once we find the right shoes so she wouldn't have to go barefoot we will be all set.

Something else.

I was amazed by a "high tech" thing we had in our Budapest apartment. You all know that when you miss closing the toilet seat and it falls out of one's hand it makes a loud and embarrassing noise.

The toilet seats we had in the apartment were self closing. We closed it about a 1/4 way and it lowered itself very smoothly and quietly. I really liked them and I have never ever saw anything like these.

I searched on the internet and found them for about $240. That is a little steep for a toilet seat, no? No wonder Bed, Bath and Beyond do not sell them. Not at those prices.

You can imagine my great surprise when sometime last week we visited a possibly available apartment and found that their toilets had the same type of covers. As far as I was concerned that apartment could have been rented immediately by us.
