*******

Saturday I did nothing special, in the evening we had our Waterloo Facebook meeting in a nice Greek restaurant. I didn't feel like it at all, but Isabel told me that I have to go there to meet people and have fun. I said to myself, she's probably right, I can't stay like this, I have to make an effort. 

I disguised myself as a merry widow and got there on time. The food was very good and so were the two young singers, but somehow I didn't feel normal. I laughed with the others, but that was only on the surface. Before they started dancing, I grabbed my coat and left. I couldn't stand the noise any longer, nor the happy people. When I got home I went straight to bed. It was probably too early to go out with so many people.



 On Sunday I slept a little longer and then prepared the guestroom for Dominique. I had emptied my new little vacuum cleaner and wanted to put it together. After an hour I gave up and had lunch. I watched my movie and suddenly the doorbell rang I had fallen asleep !! It was Dominique. A strong Coffee made us half fit again and I asked her to help me with the  vacuum cleaner. After an hour she gave up and we both considered us as genius.

Suddenly I saw what had happened we had put one pièce in the wrong way. We came to the conclusion that men can be useful sometimes. Meanwhile it was time for super and we had pasta in form of a mussel with mushrooms and a chorizo sauce. Was real good. As we both were not in our best shape I choose the wrong movie on YouTube it was a film for Kids. That changed us from my murder and Dominique from her action films.

We checked the documents for our Danube river cruise and then tired we went to bed.

SUNDAY SELECTIONS

The Brussels Canal was once an industrial link between the factories south of the city and the Port of Antwerp to the north. The district, which was long neglected, is now enjoying a new lease of life thanks to a mix of social classes, a young population, once disused sites that have been given a makeover and trendy bistros. This district is bursting with creativity, from digital arts to theatres and exhibitions. Truly invigorating! 

Now it becomes almost a posh place with sailing boats and canal cruises. When we tried the Canal cruise for the first time it had just started to change ! 





The frirst picture shows where you can take the cruise which is very amusing and then where the cars are demolished, and other industrial sites. That changes a bit  from sophisticated cruises that show historical sites or beautiful landscapes !
