Can't help you there. I don't get them either. Nor do I understand twitter for its constant references to non food or building related programmes. It's all a bit complex. Still, Lana Del Ray does have lips like those fish that stick to the glass in a fish tank. So that's good. Right?

You could try "Braeburn" apples from New Zealand, which are the perfect combination of crisp, tart, sweet and juicy! They are great to eat straight away, and give the Grannysmith green apples a run for their money in a crumble too.

I do sympathize with you and the lack of a decent apple - in our household apples are the one grocery item we are always running out of, and are always replaced instantaneously regardless of season. Thank goodness they keep so well in the coldstores - hardly any gap in supplies from one year to the next!

The Feminist Ryan Gosling tumblr is, I believe, a spoof, or mockery, if you will, of the fuckyeahryangosling tumblr. I'm sure that helped immensely! You're welcome.

I drove into Brussels Wednesday evening. It took me nearly ONE HOUR to get from Schuman to Midi station (& our favorite "Bones" restaurant). Every time I took a detour (as in aha, I remember this "short cut"), there was a barricade, a street ripped up...and a gazillion even more insane (than me) drivers.
Needless to say, "bemused" was nowhere near my state of mind by the time I got to my destination.

By the way, what's with the cyclists in Brussels? Are they completely crazy? (Talk about a death wish!)

If it's any consolation, I, an anonymous long time lurker fully intend on buying your book as soon as it hits pre-orderability. Especially since the Avery labels I laboriously printed today garnered me an unexpected 4 quid in Amazon vouchers.

I'm right there with you on the apples in Brussels being very disappointing. Where are the crisp, sweet yet slightly tart, juicy apples? All I've found her are mealy ones that are too tart.

I'm new to Brussels,from the US,and just found your blog. Its a treat for me to read!

Fi - NOW I AM EVEN MORE CONFUSED. Is it Tuesday? Is Attlee the Prime Minister?

Kirsty - I want a pirate chef as well now. He can keep the capybaras in line.

I misread this as "who we each wanted to employ as a pirate chef". Frankly, I'm a little disappointed that you didn't think of that. You've hypothetically won the Euromillions! Think big!

P.S. Have only just found your blog and I love it. You're a brilliant writer.

I'm with you on the Ryan Gosling front - what is that about, + the feminist tumblr thing? *blank*

And I have also given up on Lana, apart from Diet Mountain Dew. Try some Brian Jonestown Massacre instead - Anemone + Servo to start with.
