I was right ...

.. about blogging from another country. We are actually back in Belgium. In Brussels in fact, and in my apartment here. It's been sitting doing nothing for a couple of years so we've decided that it's high time we attacked it and got it done.

I say "we" because Liz and Terry are with me. We are going to have a work-in and not leave until the place is finished and up for sale. Liz has already attacked the fridge, and managed to avoid being grabbed by whatever it was that was living in the freezer compartment. She's also been into the bathroom, which I told her was a silly thing to do just before going to bed. She'll be having nightmares all night now.

I won't say it's warm in here but considering I haven't been here since September and then for only a day I was expecting it to be much colder than it was. But tomorrow I'll switch on the heating. That might help. And also tomorrow we'll have a good look round and make a plan of attack and see where we go from here. I mean - regardless of whatever I could raise by selling it, it's costing me €200 or so each month to keep it up with the communal charges, electricity and rates and so on and I have much better uses for that money.

  1. Seems like you have pretty much retired to France. I wonder whether you should buy one of those booths by the railway station. They must rent for a phenomenal sum...
