I’ve been wanting to buy new dining room chairs for a while, and I decided I’d do it as soon as the painting was finished. So the other day I went to the store where I had seen them. I had to take a taxi, because in the second Covid wave we are not allowed to take the bus—which is a big deal here because everyone I know uses public transport even if they have cars.

Anyway, I bought the chairs.

“When can they be delivered?” I asked.

“In an hour,” said the guy.

“No, no, I need time to get home!”

“OK, how about two hours?”

And sure enough, two hours later they arrived. As my friend Alejandro said, tongue firmly planted in cheek, Argentine efficiency!!

Anyway, the legs were a light blond wood, which I didn’t like. So I painted them black, as you can see in the photo. I like them much better like that, and I’m very pleased with them. Like them?
