It’s not that I’m bitter but the previous occupants of the flat above David’s spent a scary amount of time doing DIY, lots of banging, scraping scratching and swearing. Finally they moved out about a month ago and peace seemed bound to descend. This morning my lie-in was brought to an abrupt end when I [...]
Thank you to those who offered advice for what to see and do in Brussels. We have returned from our trip and really enjoyed it. The weather was basically really, really good – hardly any rain, lots of sunshine and reasonably warm, especially the first couple of days.
Things I want to pass on about Brussels
1. [...]
It’s amazing what you can learn from the internet, I had spent nearly 31 years assuming I was female but gender genie tells me otherwise. I am comforted by the fact that I put another random wiblogger in and they too were male (they claim to be female!).
So there we go, I am a man.

Anyway it is all fixed now and my bathroom is looking quite good, not finished, [...]

My neighbours won’t be happy when they come home.
I should start on the ones in my bathroom next.
“Miss, Miss, Chloe is throwing up”
“Oh no, now I’m feeling sick Miss”
“Just don’t look, here Chloe, have a bin. George could you go to sick bay, Freda, could you tell the caretaker please”
…
“OK Chloe, lets get you some fresh air outside, oh yes, I’ll take the bin”
Shoved some paper over the ‘incident’ moved the nearest [...]
It has started again, the simple act of putting some stuff away left me sitting on the floor sorting the edges from the middles. Having done the edge I left it on the floor, the cat then decided tto go and sit in the middle and leave some fur around. She has goals I’m sure [...]
