Linking to AWWW MONDAYS
WEEKEND AUGUST 3
Just for the weekend the sun came out and we could go to the weekly Waterloo Apero where the people of Waterloo gather for a drink in the park.
And each time we eat a box of Belgian Fries (I refuse to say French fries, because they were invented in Belgium) which are especially good and tasty. Later we were joined by my neighbor and her niece and at 8 pm we returned home. It's always very pleasant.
The official "Sales" ended on July 31, and I hadn't bought anything because nothing was to my taste ! But one boutique, the one I like the most, had officially closed the "Sales" (that's a law) but in a corner of the store were all clothes with reduced prices by 50 % ! A real bargain. I bought the T-shirt and the pullover and I had cleaned the house over the weekend because my cleaning lady is on holidays for 3 weeks and thought that I really had earned to buy them. Apparently the good Maria (that's her name) misses her old couple (us) because today she called from Poland only to say "Hello" and ask if everything was OK ! I found that very sweet !
On Sunday it was again very warm and I went to Ilona and we sat in her garden and chatted about nothing and everything.
On my way home I stated that all trees have a real lush green after the two days of rain. This is the main road leading from Brussels to Waterloo. A lot of the woods on both sides have disappeared and restaurants or other stores had been built along the street.
Only one farm has resisted to the promoters and is still standing there, it is very old and has probably seen Napoleons or Wellingtons soldiers marching buy ! There was another one which had been transformed to a luxurious retirement home.
All in all a quite weekend, if you don't listen to the News !!
