TUESDAY TACKLES

Sunday morning at 6 am (!) I went to Brussels to take pictures of the Christmas tree on the"Grand Place". It is the central market square surrounded by guild houses, and the city's spectacular Town Hall is there. The square is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It has also been the place of my rendez-vous in my youth (very important !)

So this was already a big tackle. I went that early because I hoped nobody would be there at this early hour and I was right, besides a group of men who cleaned up the place and a few boozed people coming out of bars there were nobody but me. It was quite a strange feeling to be alone in the dark on this big square but nobody bothered me and here is the result of my early adventure.

From 6 pm until midnight beams of lights in different colors illuminate the old houses together with soft music. It's very beautiful.

and these are the pictures I could make, unfortunately not better with my little camera

Besides the tree stands this nativity scence at the size of a normal stable and people. During the day there are real sheeps and a donkey in there.

a Brussels' chocolate shop window

The casino of Brussels still busy, but nobody came out. I forgot to get in and win some millions.

and finally what I am preparing since a few days, the suitcases for our holidays in Egypt. Here is Pookie, very busy to help me.

CHRISTMAS TREES AND WINDOW DECORATIONS

During the last days I took some pictures of different decorations and Christmas trees here in Waterloo (Belgium).

At the entrance of a café I found this friendly Father Christmas

This is my modest Christmas decoration for this year, as we are going on holidays on thursday.

ANNOYED ?

These are all things which annoyed me very much !

Cat Lisa sleeping on the toilet since 3 weeks and by no means would go away !
So we have to put her in the sink and then back or use the guest toilet !

Cat Arthur sitting in the dishwasher and preventing me to empty it.

....I were very much annoyed last year when I slipped on a wet floor and felt on the border of a cupboard ! My make-up looks beautiful doesn't it ? And I had to explain to everybody that it didn't hurt at all it just looked so impressive. On the question "how did it happen ?" I answered that Mr. Gattino and I had a little row.

and this annoyed me the most a few years ago ! Our son driving like mad whith a motorbike he borrowed from a friend !
