| A Sybic 26008 was in the pocket as I walked up to the Batignolles Organic Market this morning. The railway doesn't use this short siding very much any more |

I wanted to buy a Camembert. There were three cheese mongers in the market but only one had any customers so I joined the line. It took 15 minutes to be served. People were buying enormous quantities of cheese and it had to be just right. There was a discussion over each piece and very often a chip was passed over to taste. There were a lot of people and a great deal of discussion yet the sound level was just above a whisper. The only person with a raised voice was an American who had to be served in English. The two servers were very good. One lady customer asked if a particular cheese was good - the reply was a laughing "Mais non!".
We went along the rue Levis to buy some things for Christmas Day on Monday.
A panhandler had set up a sign
