Sorry about the interruption to programming
Sorry to be missing. We’ve been goofing off in Ghent Belgium for the last few days, but the internet has been goofing off too. It meant that I could not get online since Saturday. But we are in Brussels now and everything is back in order. I hope to post three or four new items ASAP, but first I’m going to track down the giant mosquito I just saw—it’s a whopper.

In Brussels, did you go see the “Manneken Pis” the little statue of a boy…. I recall the square (name?) and in one of the pastry shops they owned a cat, which was the biggest domesticated cat I had ever seen, huge.

I haven’t seen Manneken Pis this trip, but I will before the end of the week. He is a Brussels landmark and such a cheeky fellow. I’ll post a message when I’ve seen and photographed him. And I’ll keep an eye out for a huge cat.

Hi Peggy,
It’s probably too late now—I see you were in Brussels a couple of days ago. However, I understand that the world’s biggest diamond markets are in Brussels or, if not Brussels itself, somewhere else in Belgium. And diamonds don’t weigh much so just something for you to keep in mind if you find yourself needing to do some shopping and are unsure of what to buy.
