Our day’s excursion was to the lighting shops. We went to a place which makes bronze and copper lights, including to any design you specify, and seemed to have good quality and workmanship. Later, we found a few sites with stylish lights, and have a much better sense of what we might eventually use in the flat.
The coronavirus has hit close to home again: a relative by marriage has gone to the ICU and it is currently touch-and-go with him. It is frightening and very, very worrying. The vaccines-for-the-rich have also opened up in Pakistan, so friends and family there have or will in the next couple of days, receive their first dose for Rs 12000 or so. The vaccine available is the Sputnik, with a couple of Chinese vaccines due to become available in the next few weeks, including the 1-dose Cansino. I daresay I’ll get my vaccination while I’m there as well.
