FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

1. The week started and continued with cold rainy weather ! Which put my mood and energy in the basement ! Besides the different colored umbrellas and the grumpy people underneath I saw nothing in our street when I was sitting behind my computer and did the Google Gattina street watch.

2. I could have taken the obligatory shower outside before stepping into the swimming pool at aqua gym, but refrained, I was already wet even dressed.

3. To cheer me up and safe me from the sudden polar temperatures, I bought two fleece jackets, one in white with a black border and one in dark blue with a purple border ! They feel cosy and warm !

The highlight of the week was the Titanic Artifact exhibition which had already been in California, Las Vegas, Orlando and will move to Geneva after Brussels.

The huge "Expo Brussels" building is just opposite of the Atomium. (on the collage above).
With Dominique and another friend Christiane, I drove to the other end of Brussels and we visited the exhibition. It was very well presented, we saw a lot of artefacts which had survived the long stay in the salty water. The Titanic sank in 1912 and the wreck was only discovered in 1985  ! I will write about it in another post.

After the visit, we longed for a coffee and drove over to the Atomium where we sat in the restaurant and discussed about what we had seen. Madame GPS guided me back through a with traffic packed Brussels, home to Waterloo.

I finished my last painting before our exhibition at the end of the month.
