On Thursday the 27th Of Augustus, I had an exercise in teaching a lesson and then interview.

you me mud and some birds

the zwin nature reserve was hot and sunny creating muddy paths and some fun off limits walking. the weather on the kust was lovely and the camping was ok. the seashore was packed full of day trippers and bargain seekers. There were many rommel markets and of course parties everywhere. Two places i recommend in Blakenburg (good value good food) A semi dive looking place that was really hopping called 't Minuut, we ate delicious steaks mine with typische champanions sause and his with a pikanttomatoroom sauce;;;;;;;;; YUMMY YUMMY perfectly (barely) cooked and nice cuts of meat. nice side salad and ok fries, BUT heres the BUT, they LIE and say on there menu that they have Trappist leffe blond and Bruin . Hilarious, LEFFE a trappist; NO flucking way people I guess the absentminded tourist dont have a clue. Next place of goodness and high value was on the strip or on the waterside facing the North sea , it is called The Sunset, THEY have a terrific selection of BEER and the PRICES m...

Time away

the first and last thing on my mind, Where is the place and when is the time. quite possible here and now would be the metaphysical answer right? well I think it will be tomorrow. Going to try something new. Going to a new place for an information session and hopefully they like what they see and they can work around my lack of Nederlands!? But the great reality is, I can always be a cleaning lady. Just perfect, i dont really have a choice for atleast another year until I can integrate better with my language but atleast there is an abundance of cleaning jobs and well it would be a change to having income again. hottest day in België and finally it broke with a thundershower but it was just a baby one. ok then straks

het leven in Gent

een mooie wandeling rond Gent en het maakt me thuis voelen. I really love Gent its got stylist charm fused with the antiquities of history. Its got fabulous shops and the shoes are amazing. One of the set backs, is the Library from Gent is a real drab boring laclustre place. Its an easy city with high tolerance. casual and glam even the hippy funk spunk player kids and the deliciously dressed ouders with their fancy little dogs. I just need a huge-o-mongo sack of money to fall out of the sky gently and land in my bank account.
