Oooh! Exciting news! 'im indoors has a telephone interview at lunchtime for a job in Belgium. If it goes well, he could be off to Brussels tomorrow for a face-to-face interview on Thursday morning and they want someone to start straight away. Woohoo! Keep everything crossed, folks! ---

The job is south of Brussells, in the Louvain area but I’m sure equally pretty and visitable. Yes, I’m declaring that a word! He worked in Belgium before for five years, but that was in Antwerp which is why we go back and visit there quite often. I really hope he gets this one, it will be a big boost for him because he’s been out of work for over a year now. We’re not struggling because of that, but he is bored at home and getting depressed over the whole lack of job thing. ---

But it’s the perfect snack for wandering round the zoo curing your hangover… Chocolate, of course, covers a multitude of sins - but you’re advocating being bad in a good way. Is that your means of corrupting the young and innocent? ---

Blurf. I did not dream of waffles, chocolate, or Lambic beer last night. I have a suspicious wet spot in my yahd. Alas, I will be stopping at Lowe’s on the way home for plumbing parts, because I believe my water line has sprung another leak. At least it is outside this time, instead of under the house. :rolleyes: I’m grumpy today, so I don’t have much else. Carry on.
