RESTAURANTS IN CORONAVIRUS TIMES

What bothers the most the Belgians is that the restaurants are still closed. The lockdown is not yet finished. The Belgian is a gourmet and doesn't bother to spend a fortune for a meal and usually also spends hours at table.

The restaurants suffer terribly because of the lockdown and probably quite a lot of them are near bankrupcy.

Some restaurant owners however let play their creativity and try to adapt their rooms leaving enough space for the chairs at the tables to respect the rules. As it is impossible to eat with a mask unless you do it like the Arabian women and lift the mask and quickly shuffle the food in your mouth let the mask down again and eat !

As the people have to sit  alone and it is not very nice if you can't see each other, a Dutch restaurant had a good idea and created these glasshouses, where their gourmets can eat in peace and see each other. It then looks almost normal.



at two in one house and a Plexiglas between them. No way for the naughty virus to disturb the dinner ! And it even looks quite cosy.



Another restaurant or café had another nice idea, the guests sit in the middle of a tyre on a chair and with this system the distance is guaranteed !



An other one looks more classical the chairs are placed in the right distance and the places are for two people also devided by a Plexiglas.

I think the Plexiglas producers make their fortune with the Coronavirus and the masks and gloves and steril coats producers too !

What is luck for one is misery for the other !

FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

Today we start the 70th day of lockdown ! Sounds long when you read it !

Since Monday we are allowed to go to the hairdresser ! I had taken an appointment 2 weeks before to be sure to get two for me and Mr. G.  It was a real adventure ! We arrived a bit earlier and there were seats outside the salon. Then we were called inside, with mask and had to disinfect our hands got a white paper coat or something similar which was thrown away when we left.



My hairdresser wore a visor over her mask. The seats were disinfected too before we sat down. One chair was empty between two to keep distance. We had a lot of fun, as nobody had ever experienced such an adventure. The poor girls had a lot of work and some hairdressers had already opened at midnight !! Now whole Belgium has clean and nicely cut hair !!



As our house is nearly sold I don't do anything in the garden anymore, with the result that everything blooms !!

We had our Corona meeting at Nicole's it's still very warm. We talked about the curtains I had to buy for the new apartment, and as I don't understand anything about mesurements and curtains, M. promised me to come with me and measure the windows, while N, will measure the terrace, I want to put fake grass on it.



Once again Isis was hungry and walked her servant to her dining room !



The view was so nice that we enjoyed our sunbath very much.

Yesterday we went to a big fabric shop together with my two friends. I choose this color because the walls are light grey and dark grey (like everywhere now) only that I don't like grey. I'll try to put as much as possible of colors into the rooms.



This color will fit perfectly with our black leather sofa and seats.  I found it very complicated to calculate how much fabric you need and you have to be careful to give the right measurements, because once they are sewed it's too late. The last time I had bought fabric was maybe 30 years ago and had no idea of the prices. It has become terribly expensive although my friends told me that these are a very good price. Anyway they have to last until I last ! I was happy that this was done and decided that I will take them.



And as usual in the evening Miss Rosie watched TV with me.
