Platyfest
|
28th July, official.
|
Would beer/wine/vintage port/whiskey be appropriate?
|
|
impractical timing; I'll have just returned from the West Country to
London the day before, and am flying to Norn Iron the day after.
|
|
Please, sir. Single garage?
|
|
Is that on the Gregorian calendar or will it be subjected to Jackies
randomisation at some stage ?
|
Yes, but not until it's been through the Zymurgy Pre-emptive Temporal
Randomisation Wormhole.
|
no fests for ages then 2 come along on the same day- tsk!
|
|
|
|
Marina got a promotion today... Woohooo!
Should we bring cakes?
|
|
I'll be in Belgium. Bruges, in fact.
Anyone got any recommendations of things to see and do apart from the
ones already on my list:
Drink beer.
Eat mussels & chips.
Drink more beer.
Shag.

The Groeninge Museum is small but absolutely rammed with top-class
Flemish art, if you're even vaguely interested in that kind of thing
(and/or want to impress the mrs) then The Madonna with Canon van der
Paele [1] will blow your mind and there are some great Bosch pieces.
It's also worth taking a boat trip round the canals, and the belfry
seems quite popular.
|
ah yes, that too - we did that one - as Ogden says, if you like
Flemish stuff, this place is stuffed full of it.
Note, at least one of the "Bosch" pieces is a repro, if you read the
small print.

[1]
- only seeing it in person does it any justice

|
I left the two weekends before the 28th for you!
Nasty man
|
|
Coo!
I must remember to get more "mind rotter" on the boil :)
