Yesterday we returned from the coast to Dendermonde. Chris needs to start work once more (after this schoolyear, one more to go) and so our presence here is needed.
We managed to do most of the washing before we returned home. That's always best after a summer at the coast. In summer we can hang the washed clothes/linen/towels/lingerie out to dry. This is more difficult in winter, as our space inside is restricted and drying racks would be in the way. But we won't be coming much in autumn and winter. Already in September we have two weekends away (Brussels and Antwerp) and in October we'd only manage one weekend at the coast, the rest also being reserved for weekend trips and a longer one to Strasbourg in France. And during the Christmas holidays we'll be in Germany for nearly two weeks. By the time we have enough washing collected, it'll probably be spring once more, and then you can hang the washing outside.
Here at home, no surprises this time. Electricity worked fine. The guy we consulted earlier this month fixed the problem temporarily, and coming Thursday he's coming to fix it for good. I'm also going to ask him to revise the rest of the system, to make sure everything is in order with the new safety regulations.
We'll end this first working week (for Chris, at least) by having dinner in one of our favorite restaurants here in town. It's called Barley's. It was originally an Irish pub, but the new owners (5 years back) changed it into a restaurant which specializes in fine kitchen. Intend to have a nice evening there!
And to make everything alright, the bakery that delivers at home and which has been closed for holidays, is opening once more next Sunday, so we'll be able to order our favorite treats for breakfast!
