Benzina, Quim Monzó y la jarra de cerveza

Heriberto, espía a Helena, sospechosa de serle infiel.

Cargada con tres bolsas, Helena hace el mismo recorrido de antes pero al revés. Heriberto le va detrás a distancia. Ha visitado una pastelería, una tienda de ropa y una librería, y en cada uno de los lugares ha estado poco tiempo para haber resultado imposible estar con algún amante, por muy diligentes que todos sean.
      Helena busca las llaves en el bolsillo del abrigo. Heriberto la mira de lejos y, cuando ve que entra a casa, se va a dar una vuelta para no llegar enseguida. Duda si entrar en una taberna. Finalmente se decide. Está medio vacía, con paredes de madera y espejos, no oscura, pero escasa de luz. Se sienta en un taburete, se apoya contra la borra y, en el momento de pedir, recuerda que hace relativamente poco tiempo (¿hoy?, ¿ayer?: no tiene ganas de calentarse el cerebro para recordar exactamente cuándo) ha tenido problemas para escoger en el momento de pedir la bebida, en otro bar diferente a aquél; ahora no quiere que se le repita la situación. Por eso, cuándo el camarero le pregunta qué quiere, enseguida busca a qué agarrarse y, cuando ve el tubo de la cerveza a presión, se siente aliviado.
        - Cerveza, una jarra. 
    Después, cuando ve las botellas de whiskey agrupadas delante del espejo que tiene delante (hay un espejo delante suyo: hace rato que ve su cara reflejada y hasta ahora no se ha reconocido), piensa que, si las hubiera visto antes que el tubo de cerveza, hubiera pedido whiskey. El camarero le sirve la jarra. La paga. Lame la espuma.

  7. Once you have the smooth 'base' of your cake ' usually fondant or buttercream '
    it's ready to be decorated with piped icing. The toppings include chocolate curls and chocolate roses, gold rings, a figurine of a couple, crystals and also a horse shoe. The book by Roald Dahl and subsequent movies can be a great source of inspiration for a fun and quirky themed wedding.

  10. There are so many sources that your hand and mind can put into.
    Having a look at the baker's album will also help you to decide. Because there is no cost associated with hiring sales people, you can probably find these items cheaper than if you go to your local store.
