Xmas Eve in Brussels

Gidday from wet Brussels where we have been strolling and wrapping the day away. The little madam has had a great day; starting with wrapping the gifts she bought alone and using her recently acquired (trained) skill for gift wrapping, then the bulk of the day has been spent in the Fish Market zone enjoying the more classic rides on offer.

Many discussions (as usual) have been had over a range of topics. The first one has involved the banning of the viewing of the movie called Drop Dead Fred. Teagan has watched it hundreds of times just as her Uncle Grant had, however, unlike her uncle she has started using quotes from the movie in her casual discussions with us: "the mega b***ch" was the final straw especially as our wee "treasure" did not know what the second word even meant! The second key topic has been the technicalities of fake versus real Santas and whether she is supported by the NZ Santa or the Qatar one - it is definitely not the Europe one as I have been led to understand. Finally, pick-pockets are of great interest. Brussels has an "epidemic" of the blighters so madam has been keeping us "safe"; needless to say, moving around with the child has become rather challenging.

Now we are off to enjoy the lights of the city whilst we wait for the big red man!

Happy Christmas and celebrations to you and yours, Kara please eat some raspberrries for me and then FB me with a photo so I can pretend I have had some also!
