30 Day Challenge
Friday. For most of the last 2 years Friday’s were either spent travelling to Belgium or waiting for The Belgian to make it back to Blighty. Friday marked the end of a busy working week and the start of weekend adventures – home or abroad. While I’m having some downtime between assignments, Friday is still a good day to mark the close of ‘work’ and the beginning of ‘play’.

Day#9. Comics. One of the delights of Belgium is the reverence they have for graphic novels or ‘strip’ as they are called in Flemish. Having grown up on a diet of Richie Rich, Archie and Green Lantern, I just love the variety and choice available. Here’s half the aisle in our local supermarket.

Day #7. Music. To be honest, this could be every single day of the challenge. I love all sorts of music – so eclectic is my taste that I have thoroughly confused the ITunes algorithm. I blogged about this in an earlier post which you can read here. https://edgeofthepier.com/2009/11/25/soundtrack-to-my-soul/
So, instead of a picture, today’s accompaniment is simply a song…by one of my bands of the moment. The words describe perfectly how I feel when music moves me.

Day #6. Spade. I love gardening but thanks to a hectic schedule and bi-coastal living arrangements my poor garden is in a sorry state. Today I began the task of getting it ready for the Summer. I’m planting Verbena – a blousy perennial that loves the coastal reaches and flowers through the summer and into the autumn. Doesn’t look like much but it will.
Day #2. Yellow. Daffodils are my favourite flowers at this time of year. I love this cheery little flower. They serve as a reminder that no matter how dark things seem, there is always growth.

Day #1. Mackerel. I’m marrying a man who loves fish. His dad was a fisherman so it’s in his genes. Which means The Belgian can catch, fillet and cook his supper. Every Saturday that we are in Bruges we head to the fish market and decide on dinner. Tonight it’s a rather underestimated fish. It tastes better fresh than smoked.
