Sep. 26th, 2009 09:04 amAgainst all odds, the weather continues to be beautiful...I wait for the weather to turn rainy and gray any day but so far it's just the beautiful autumnal sun, and I can still sit barefoot in the garden. Yesterday Fionn and I went to visit my friend S. who has the cute twins. Over the summer she built a little hen coop in her garden, where the two hens cohabitate with a giant bunny. We let Fionn into the coop, where he successfully pet the hens and spent some time chasing after the bunny, who was scared at first but then let Fionn pet him a few times. S. also installed a hammock where her kids' swings used to be, and Fionn and Twin #1 (Pax) were rocked in it for a while, like two little fishies in a net. All was good except Pax, with a naughty expression, kept trying to poke his fingers into Fionn's eyes. Behold:
Eventually they were separated.
S. is also now basically in charge of running the free store at the big squat, and she has all these ideas of how to make it a nicer space, I might pop in there on Wednesday to help her sort and hang some stuff.
Then in the afternoon/evening I went to Liege to meet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
congogirl, who was in Brussels for 24 hours.
The advantage of living close to Brussels is that I get to see my friends who work in Africa, because they so often get routed through Brussels on their leaves or business trips to the US. We wandered around Liege (and were creeped out by the fact that all of the Congo-related places, like little money shops to send remittances and Congolese hair products were on Rue Leopold), installed outselves in a cafe by the river, where I consumed a deliciuos banana milkshake andcongogirl seemed to confuse the owner by ordering cognac and crepes, then we launched an eventually successful search for moules frittes (mussels with fries)--yummy, garlicy, buttery--delicious!
( a few more from Liege )
Now I am awake, Fionn and I are both eating greek yogurt and honey, and later today I am going to go to the huge fleamarket that takes place a couple of times a year in the big expo building. Wish me some good finds!
