On a roll

I had another great day on Wednesday. This many great days in a row are starting to make me worried that something bad is going to happen soon... A friend of a friend was moving out and didn't have the time (or desire) to sell any of her stuff so she was giving it away. My friends Kate, Lida and I knew we could put the stuff to good use in our own homes, so within a few hours we had lightened her load considerably! So now I have a new couch and table in my house, Kate has a bookshelf, desk, and chair in her house, and Lida has a chest of drawers and chair in her house. Kate and I were quite the sight of giggly girls in a rented van hauling stuff around.

After moving things all morning Kate and I had a knitting "date" with our friend Christina. The three of us have recently started to meet up once a week to knit together and it is a lot of fun! After knitting we wandered around Christina's neighborhood and she pointed out a few restaurants and shops to try. Then we headed to our local market that takes place on Wednesdays. I think one of my favorite things about living in Brussels/Europe are the markets. It is so wonderful to have fresh bread, eggs, chesse, fruit, veggies and flowers available only a block away every week.
