Here Comes the Rain Again 2-9-16

Rained again last night for most of the night and into the morning.  But we had to go shopping and in a bit of timing luck we managed to get that done in one of the lulls.  By the time we got back to the
apartment it had started to rain again.   Then we had a quick bit of thunder, lightning, and hail, they are coming through in squalls, very intensely and then gone.
The last dentist appointment for Deb was today so we ran down to Hotel Drouot to look at what goodies might be for sale before the appointment.   With an hour to go before the appointment we decided to walk from Drouot over to our dentist's office.   We were in and out of sprinkles pretty much the whole time, nothing too bad or too long lasting.
On the way over I saw these workmen doing plaster work on the ceiling of one of the nice apartment buildings.  This type of plasterwork is almost dead in the U.S. and is declining here in Paris but it was really fun to see that there are still people who are plying the trade.
The forecast is for intensifying rain as the week goes on so we'll just have to see what we can accomplish as far as getting out to enjoy our remaining time.  Tomorrow the plan is to try to see the Musee Nissim-Comondo, this was a 19th century bourgeois families townhouse in the 8th arr.  They were very well off and amassed a very nice collection of art and antiques in their home.  The father was decorated by the French government for many good services, but alas they were Jewish, and during the second world war the government let them be transported and all but one perished.  The museum is a lasting memorial to them and it's very lovely.   That's plan A, we'll see if it works out.
