Good morning from my "office" in Fabienne's dining room!
I see sun and blue sky this morning after a rainy day yesterday. My widget says 6 degrees (43 degrees F). Chilly! It is 8 degrees and rainy in Basel and 63 degrees at home.
Fabienne and I did some shopping in Leuven yesterday and then decided to go to IKEA because I have never been. Yes, I know there are IKEA stores in the US but none in Maine. So off we went. OHMIGOD! LOL. I felt like I was at Disney World with the entire population of the country of Belgium! Fabienne bought a few things but I went home empty handed because I kept reminding myself I have a small suitcase. I am not sure how I would fit an entire Scandinavian sleeping system in there, complete with duvet and pillows, so I resisted the temptation. But it was quite the store to see and the mob was unbelieveable. As I said to Fabienne, "You'd think they were giving things away!"
Right now I am sitting here with Anna, watching SpongeBob Square Pants in Dutch! Last night we plowed through about 6 hours of Batman Begins and finally quit when Fabienne said there were 3 hours more to go (it seemed like an endlessly long movie!!). All I can say about the new one and this: I thought Maggie G. was very weak in her role, but she was an improvement over Katie Holmes. But that's not saying much for either of their acting abilities.
More stories later!
