So Belgian MNetters, shall we have an Xmas Meet Up?

[Portofino]

I mean a proper one, with frocks, food and no small children?

As I recall, no-one is tied to the house with tiny ones....feel free to beat me with Witloof if I am wrong...

I am at work all the time, so better to leave a daytime meet up to someone who is free in the day....

But we have Xmas markets, log fires, genever and a multitude of exciting places to meet up. What do you think?

That sounds good to me. I tried to sort something out when we lived in Switzerland unfortunately there was only two of us who lived centrally.
Not so sure about the frocks though, I don't have one. Will jeans do?

Fine, but cancel the frocks Porto, I do skirts or trousers!

Am committed for the weekend of 3/4/5 Dec with no escape.

Actually - I don't have a frock either...jeans are fine with me...

No committments for us yet. We will probaly/possibly go to the UK for Xmas itself so leave around 21st December for a week. first one in ten years that we haven't been abroad. DD is very excited.

So 11th or 18th Dec looking good at the mo?

Yes but I'm still waiting for that curry!

I am rubbish I know! I will send an email this very minute! I am free at the weekend, or what's left of this week.

Just a quicky as off to bath ds, but 18th sounds good to me! Are we thinking daytime, in which case I would have to bring ds, but evening would be child free. Could do eve of the 17th too, in fact would be better for me...

Hello Kreecher We haven't 'met' but I've seen your name around Where are you living?

Must send a link to this thread to the email list I think. I am hoping to bribe natation out of hiding with promises of chocolate and wine, as she is sooo knowledgeable about everything...

So - where should we go? Is Brussels the most central place? I'm half way between Brussels and Leuven and entirely flexible.

I think we have people in Brussels, Tervuren, Leuven, Antwerp, Waterloo, the countryside south of Brussels....

Evening of 17th end of term for us.

Porto, would that be Bertem way then? Not far from me in that case.

There's a decent Indian in Overijse....

Hah! We have an offline curry discussion going on at the moment!

Monkeybumsmum, havne't seen you around for ages!

17/18 dec is fine for me.

Ooh, porto, I don't think natation will want to meet me !

Anytime before the 19th for me. I can travel. Moneybumsmum, we are just outside Antwerp and living the dream

Shall we say 18th then? Ooh how exciting! Any venue suggestions? Longtime, you're veggie aren't you?

Yes 18th dec is fine!

18th great We could always do Krishna again (curry in Overijse for those that haven't heard of it) but then I s'pose it wouldn't be too christmassy would it!

Belgo, been 'out of action' for quite a while due to bereavements Will be lovely to see you again and everyone else too!

I'm so sorry to hear that monkeybumsmum. I hope things are getting better for you.

Oh and curry sounds great!

Ha, ha, kreecher, I just read your profile. I take it you like smoking ! You're obviously no longer in Switzerland if you want to come out with us!

Yes, porto, I'm veggie. That's why curry's great for me :)

Hello everyone!
Sorry I'm late! (As usual)

This all sounds marvellous.
The 18th suits me fine and I could certainly go for a curry from Krishna. Monkeybumsmum has told me before how good it is.

And by the way, am I allowed to wear a frock just because I don't often get the chance?
It'll be nice to have a christmassy excuse to dress up a bit, even if it is only for a curry!

Curry at Krishna, Overijse planned for Tuesday 5th October (I think...? ) If anyone would like to do that too! I was going to send an email but haven't got round to it yet...

Ruth - frock certainly acceptable. And we can all be in awe of your vertiginous heels!
