Gaby, her mum and a tricky bathroom cabinet

We spent a lovely evening at Gaby’s place in Santiago; she being the school friend of Vicky, a good friend of mine from work in London. We sampled the Chilean version of pisco sour (very similar to Peru but minus the frothy egg white topping) and enjoyed some delicious beef cooked by Gaby.Gaby had just moved into the apartment and was having trouble assembling a bathroom cabinet. I volunteered Simon to assist, being the handyman that he is. Several hours later and approaching 2am he was onto the finishing touches of attaching the door. At this point he realised that the instruction sheet had been somewhat lacking and he had put another piece on the wrong way up (and glued everything together) so there were no holes for the hinges. At this stage, we gave up and Gaby drove us back into the centre. Gaby was very grateful despite the missing door as she had thought it would stay in pieces in the lounge for weeks to come. It was good to see another part of Santiago and to meet Gaby and her mum who were delightful.
