Day 22

I woke up at 5!!! No comment. Wow, I'm into the second part of my cure - I could start a countdown... ;-)

I was making all my six teas (no more kidney tea!), lunch box for my honey, "moelleux au chocolat" (on my photo) for evening dessert (5 ramekins only), delicious breakfast smoothie and sandwiches for the kids... as apparently we do go to the coast today, including some biking on dunes (which was my only condition). To Cadzand after Sara's dentist appointment! We'll leave a bit late, around noon, but I really like the idea of this team building afternoon, although I'm feeling a bit weak right now.

Forget it, kids changed their minds - no cycling on dunes today but strolling around Brussels! Fine, on one condition: Eat all sandwiches I made! I escorted Sara to dentist & went back home with Berry who had an appointment prior to hers. I brought him his lunch bag but next to his car, he decided to take another coffee at home before leaving for work. Only to let me know later he took a day off! I was melting. I adore this kind of surprises!

We were considering options what to do or where to go (I served kids a brunch with their sandwiches in the meantime), we crossed out renovation & Cadzand, and decided for Berry's idea: a walk & lizarding at Gaasbeek Castle Estate... Good choice for this cloudy & sunny weather - we had a great zen afternoon (near the chapel on this photo), and came home around 19h. We still caught some sunbathing on our sofa... where we were not making war... ;-))

We wrapped up the evening with almost 15 minutes of Land of the Blind (2006), more than a half an hour of Notes on a Scandal (2006), and the whole The New Daughter (2009) - don't do the same horror mistake...
