In Mons: My Heart Will Go On Part Deux

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-heart-will-go-on-part-deux.html

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. My Heart Will Go On Part Deux. I just had a shower (see? Wash) and after a while I became aware of music. Well, 'music'. Namely Celine Dion, and My Heart Will Go On. The theme to everyone's secret favourite film. I wondered vaguely where it was coming from, and then (shower being finished) stepped out into the bathroom and once appropriately towel-clad, into the bedroom (slashkitchenslashstudyslashsittingroomslashguestroomslashdrawingroomslashpantryslashetc).

In Mons: Don't take your Dragon to the Doudou

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/06/dont-take-your-dragon-to-doudou.html

Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Don't take your Dragon to the Doudou. My time in Mons is drawing to a close this weekend, as my papa is coming to pick me up along with all my belongings and taking me back to Blighty. I feel a bit sad that my Belgium adventure is over, but we finished it on a high. This is adapted from a message I just sent my friend Tim, as I am (as previously mentioned) an inherently lazy person, and copy and paste is my friend. Well, this weekend was fairly insane. There were a few people ther...

In Mons: Black Swan Sweethearts

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/01/black-swan-sweethearts.html

Sunday, January 18, 2009. We were just as bemused as they, as although it was very cold in the beginning of January (-14°. Centigrade at one point, a fact Ben's sister Jo couldn't quite get her head round - "C? She repeated incredulously, "C? Of late the temperature has hit such heights as 3°. I took loads of videos of them slipping all over the place as frankly, it was pretty funny, so for your viewing pleasure I've uploaded one of them as they trudge towards the thawed area, and another that shows the ...

In Mons: Whoops

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/03/whoops.html

Saturday, March 28, 2009. We just scuttled back dripping after stepping outside in bright sunshine. By the time we reached the end of the road it was hailing and blowing up a storm, and once our brolly flipped itself inside out we thought it might be best to turn around and go home. We got in and shook ourselves. and outside the rain stopped and the sun came out. It's my fault" I told Ben gloomily. He asked. "We took the brolly; this shouldn't have happened.". Labels: Amanda is a berk. Amanda is a berk.

In Mons: Petsitting and Ostriches

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/04/petsitting-and-ostriches.html

Friday, April 3, 2009. Why, what would you do? I'd have a wee," he replied. I asked, wondering if I'd misheard. Well, after I ran round going 'WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and then going and buying loads of stuff, I'd probably need a wee.". Ben is very practical like that. We ate ostrich the other day," he pointed out, after some thought. He's right. We did. Traditional Belgium cuisine, all the way. Incidently, petsittee anonymous, if your pet is an ostrich, I promise not to eat it. Hope you are both well. Me And ...

In Mons: Kersmash!

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/04/kersmash.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I bemoaned the driving standards in Belge back in October. And today we were given another example of it. We were sitting on the sofa; Ben playing some Star Wars game on the Playstation, and me as ever on my beloved laptop. There was a sudden noise outside and Ben, being intrinsically nosy got up to have a look. Someone's crashed their car outside! He told me excitedly. The bus stop I was talking about last night, in case you were wondering. It took out the water pipe. Excellen...

In Mons: Last, final, Goodbye Mons post

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/07/last-final-goodbye-mons-post.html

Saturday, July 11, 2009. Last, final, Goodbye Mons post. I kept meaning to write my last, goodbye Mons post, and then life got in the way and I kept forgetting, and then I couldn't think of anything worth writing, so just left it. I am appreciative of my lazy nature now, as I can write this final, last goodbye Mons post. There is a funny bit Eddie Izzard does, about the bad guys in Bond films having unrecogniseable accents. 'What is your accent? Not unreasonably, Alana and I accused him of making up an a...

In Mons: Eurovision

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/05/eurovision.html

Monday, May 18, 2009. I meant to post about this when it actually aired on TV, but I was on the sofa and the laptop on the other side of the room and it was just tooooooo farrrrrr away. My memory has been jogged by the discovery of another blog. Written by an Aussie currently living in Belge, so here is Ben and my take on it. She WALKED INTO one of the musicians! That's why I like Graham Norton. Hello :) My opinion is that when it comes to Eurovision, the more spectacular the better. This is not the ...

In Mons: J'AI NONNE PAS BESOIN!!

http://inmons.blogspot.com/2009/06/jai-nonne-pas-besoin.html

Thursday, June 4, 2009. J'AI NONNE PAS BESOIN! I just bumped into Mrs Busybody after months of managing to avoid her. She's been asking Ben where I am so that she can give me some sac poubelles, he's been saying 'En Angleterre' to put her off. On this instance, this moment where I really really needed to tell her 'I have no need of any more bin bags', could I remember it? And ran into the apartment block, the phrase jumped out at me, waving its hands and shouting 'TAH DAH! Just when you don't need me!
