Indeed Facebook can be something else then for insulting people, writing love messages, post stupid jokes etc. of course always virtual and never life.
Our Facebook group "Vivre à Waterloo" (living in Waterloo) is different ! We also meet life ! The one who had created the page had organized together with his wife a wonderful evening with country music and dancers and an excellent buffet with barbecue ! We really had a lot of fun as you can see
I was with Chantal, Monique, Nicole and Myriam (bottom left)
I sneaked in the room where the buffet was dressed up. Outside men were busy with the barbecue. We were 52 people ! The food was excellent, nobody complained.
The restaurant too is a very nice one we sometimes go there for lunch. The evening was really perfect I even danced !!
On Sunday morning I got a phone call from my grandson Toby. It was the first time that he called "alone" without his Dad, but I saw him hiding in the background ! Still that's a beginning, now he is able to call of his own.
He had been at the hairdresser and chosen his own haircut. I didn't say anything, but thought he looks like a hedgehog, anyway it won't stay up like that all the time. Instead of being horrified, I told him that it looks very nice (sometimes you have to lie !) Fashion starts early ! In November he will be 8 !
On Sunday afternoon we went to the next suburb of Brussels because there was a huge flea market and second hand stands. I had never seen so many people on a flea market. The cars were parked on the sidewalks, the roundabouts, and it started kms far. Some people had parked their car and took a bike to arrive on the market, which was all over the town in the streets.
Nicole found a blouse for 0.50 cents and Myriam a pair of shoes for 2 Euros ! I found nothing.
These little once sold sweets for one Euro, future business men !
Here you have a little overlook on the crowd.
We walked around and then had a coffee after nearly 3 hours we had enough and were tired and returned home. It had been a very nice afternoon ! So many things to look at !
Organising the social group using Facebook is very clever. They are mostly older people but if it keeps going, more people will join as they become older.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good idea having a Facebook gathering. Someone organised a blogging lunch in Sydney and I went but I haven't been again. Toby looks cute. At least he has his hair cut. Fox wants his long so he can have a man bun???!!!@@@****
ReplyDeleteYour FB group meet up looks lot of fun with great people!
ReplyDeleteIt's great Toby is calling on his own and choosing haircut. He is growing up! He looks very handsome in his new haircut :-)
The facebook group sounds like fun. The lea market looks amazing, such a shame that you didn't find anything.
ReplyDeleteThat market would have kept you busy!
ReplyDeleteThe market looks like fun. My son still hasn't chosen a particular hairstyle. He says that he doesn't want to be fashionable :)
ReplyDeleteHello Gattina
ReplyDeleteFacebook can be a great way for friends to chat and gather. The flea market looks like fun, a big crowd. Toby is a cute boy! Enjoy your day and week ahead!
