literally and figuratively

Still in the dark. I called Madame Helleputte and she said to call the reggie. That's the property owner but we don't know who it is or what the number is. She said she would give us a call when SHE found the number. Meanwhile... we live with a minimum of electrical things turned on. Thank goodness the sun (what's that???) is out today. Paul took the day off because daughter arrives tonight after a fun week in Paris. The architecture students took a field trip to see Paris and Kate is making a side trip before going back to Rome. I hope she doesn't mind being in the dark.
