WEEKLY WINNERS

More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

This weekend the farmers of the wallon part of Belgium together with the city of Waterloo organized a feast to show and sell their products. The farmers are not happy at all because the margin between of what they earn and we as consumers pay is far too large. If they get 5 € for example, we the consumers have to pay 20 € which of course is far to high. The only happy once are those in the middle who earn quite a lot ! Everybody agreed with the farmers of course and bought products right from them.

There also were farm animals for the children, because city children don't have many occasions to see farm animals.

LOOKING FOR A CASTLE

SHOW ME .... your selfportrait is here

Last saturday I wanted to visit the castle of Beersel not far from my home to make some pictures. I knew where it was, but as usual didn't know the way. I asked Miss GPS who always directs me with her friendly voice and so far I always arrived at destination.

At the beginning we had some misunderstandings because I mixed up left with right and she had to correct me with an offended "Recalculation", but at the end I arrived although a little later as foreseen. But know I thought we are used to each other.

I left my home and turned left and right as she told me and I pinched myself mentally in the left and right arm just to be sure not to mix it up. Suddenly I had to stop because there was a deviation. Miss GPS "recalculated" and I drove and drove and suddenly I was in the middle of nowhere, left and right fields and I with my car in the middle of a little way which was more for farmer's tractors then for my beloved little car. No soul around. I assured myself, telling me that I still have my mobile in case of ....

The only person I met was this one



looking at me with a suspicious eye, when I got out of the car to take a picture.

Driving slowly in my shaking car, suddenly I saw houses and a normal street and a little further down my castle ! I assure you I really was relieved !
