Uasalna issa ghal zmien il pausa natalizia fein forsi anchi id-donna bendata taf issir ichtar manianima u tnaccas mill-hruscija taghha. Sadattant is-serv taghha Gakbu S chien xhud ta' eventi sfigazzati chif ucholl vittima taghha il bierah ossija l-Erbgha Hmistasc ta Decembru.

Bhalissa huwa zmien fein minhabba l-assenza tal-kap u slowdawwn generali fil-corti isc-scoghol ma huwiesc ta' natura ingombruza. Chien ghalhecc li Melanie, secretaria simpaticissima fil-kabinett taghna ipproponiet afternoon ta' sciopping lil GS. Hrabna lein is-saghtein bil-mir li sal-hamsa (latest) naslu lura just-in-time ghall-party organizzat mill-kabbinett tal-uttornigeneral Tizzano.

Irhejnilha bil-carozza/ajruplan ta' Melanie. L-euuel uacfa chellu icun il-BAC Supermarket. Dan hua supermercat tal-istituzzjonijiet moqdi bi prodotti li suppost itaffu nostalgia ghad-dar. (Per ezempju mincheiia li uihed ghadu ma isibsc twistees u kinnie isib però haphna Chinò). Chif irraccontait f'edittioni ohra tal-Bollettin bhalissa it-toroq huma naqa' glissé ossija icy. Chien ghalhecc illi mita l-isbeiha Melanie applicat il-brejk (ghaliesc minn fost il-bjuda tas-sigar hareg qisu forma umana) is-seuuieca ta' uaraina ma chelliesc cans tiecaf u bacat diehla hecc dlonk gofina. Scein hsara lil melanie izda il-VWBeetle gdida (mid-dehra harget gimaghtein ilu) sofriet grif zghir.

Insomma. Scampata dic morna il-bac. Chellna shopping list ta' fueiiah li jinsctrau bl-irhis. Chien hemm chiu. Hafna nies. Imma dan paiiz civil. Ergo tiehu numru bhal fid-delicatessen ghand allajahfirlu il-Price Club. Chienu ced jacdu number 54. Gakbu S jigbed in-numru li jmiss. Ma setasc joncos.... 69. Rata ta' tmien minuti chull numru.... domna seklu.

Sc'hin hrigna lebbitna lein is-sitycenter sabiesc nibdeu il-vera shopping. Ma iccalculainiesc pero li ma l-euuel trafficlights se tacsmilna scarabanc cuddiemna u tiehu il-genb taghna. Twenty minutes ragunar fit-tric ma busdriver maniacali li ma ried bl-ebda mod jaccetta t-tort. Sadattant bniedem mhusc maghruf li chien fuc in-naha l-ohra taghna (li ghall occasioni ser insemmu "L-Ghosc")uacaf ucholl u beda idur dauriet mal mercedes tieghu cisu habat habta tipo dic li chulhadd jisctiec li iahbat Schuchmacher.

Dana insista illi immorru mieghu d-depot tal-buses sabiesc naghmlu "Constat" li hua tipo bumper-to-bumper imma tahli haphna ichtar hin.
