Tuesday 13th December 2016 – I’M NOT BUYING …

schnitzel insecta burger delhaize leuven belgium october octobre 2016…any of these burgers and schnitzels.

They might be on sale in the Bio range of the Delhaize supermarket in the centre of Leuven, but they don’t look as if the are vegetarian, never mind vegan, do they?

Yes, I went up to town today to do some shopping. A baguette, some hummus, some rice and a carton of iced tea, and that’s me fixed up for the next few days.

Not only that, I was browsing around in the HEMA on the corner, and that had a mini-wok on sale, reasonably good quality, for just €10:00. It’s just the thing for cooking while I’m here, and with this I can do some fried onions and all that kind of thing.

My curries will take on a new dimension with this machine.

With my early night last night, I was wide awake by 06:30. I’d been on my travels during the night, but don’t ask me where I’d been now, because it’s all gone out of my head.

By the time that the alarm went off, I was already eating my breakfast and that is something that hasn’t happened for a long time, has it?

And then I came back to my room to witness the excitement.

one way street kruisstraat leuven belgium october octobre 2016They’ve turned the Kruisstraat, the street at the side of the building, into a one-way street but not too many people have taken much notice of it.

Consequently, they sent a police van and a police patrol out to ambush the motorists. But if you notice, you’ll see that the police van is parked the wrong way round in the one-way street, and that’s the kind of thing that can only ever happen in Belgium.

After lunch, I carried on with some work on the website, with a little bit of rest here and there, and then I went for my tea and an extremely lengthy chat with my housemate.

It’s late now, and so I won’t have much of a decent sleep unfortunately. But that’s the kind of thing that happens when you socialize, and that’s a new experience for me.
