So. Whats been happening in the little world of Tudor since last week?
Well, Monday saw me posting stuff from my eBay sales and changing sterling into Euros. And then we went to Belgium! We got the 16.30 SeaFrance crossing and then made our way to Brussels. Eventually, we found our hotel.
Now Brussels is an interesting city - from a driving point of view. It has an outer ring road (the R0) and an inner ring road (R20) that contains the old city of Brussels and this inner ring road is big. It contains a 2x 2 lane tunnel system in the centre and a 2x 2-3 lane system running alongside them. The problem was, we entered a tunnel about 300yds from our hotel and finally managed to turn round about 4 miles later.
But we got there and found our hotel, the Comfort Art Hotel Siru. It is situated next to the Sheraton, Crowne Plaza and a Hilton hotel in Place Rogier. But isn't quite up to their standards. It was clean and tidy and pretty cheap though. The rooms are all individually decorated by an artist and I would class the decor as "different" :) The next morning we got up and visited the large shopping mall opposite Place Rogier, so that Shell could shop at the Brussels branches of Pimkie - her favourite shop in the world.
Then we made our way to Clinic Beaucare on the outskirts of Brussels, so that Shell could have breast augmentation. We turned up for her appointment at 16.30 and she went in with a 32B bust. We left about 19.30 and was now a 32D bust. She has been in lots of pain (one of the doctors at the clinic likened the pain to "being run over by a truck") since the operation (especially on the Tuesday evening and Wednesday) and today she has finally been able to lessen her painkiller intake.
Currently, she is very swollen and her boobs are huge! Waaaay too big (I'm not a "tit-man"). And she has this massive support bra thingy that she has to keep on for a month to make sure the implants don't move about while they are settling in. But when all the swelling has gone down... Well, HELLO
A couple of weeks ago, I found my old Palm V in the garage and since then I have been mucking about with it. I've bought a couple of items for it (incl a Bluetooth sledge) and have been trying out various pieces of software/games on it. God its good - even in B&W. So good, that I have managed to bag a Palm Tungsten T off eBay, along with a Bluetooth GPS receiver for less than �100!
I know its old technology (I'm like that), but its cheap and it will do what I need of it. Especially with some decent mapping software installed like ViaMichelin Navigator.
And yes, I'm still trying to find a cheap HP Jornada 720 to use...
