Sun 23rd

Woke to Church bells. A tres bien breakfast- baguettes thanks to Jean-Claude, then we left Nicolas to study + saw the comic museum + a bit of Brussels, very different from Aus cities, Tintin is a legend. We return + have a sandwich then all go to JC's for his daughter Emilies 18th. I feel so much part of the family. One son invited me to his place in Brussels whenever I want a swim. JC then showed me his photography and equipment. Afterward we watched 'The Net', then had visitors. Spag-JC came then Nic+friend and we all joked and spoke. I feel already as if I have lived here a month. I am quickly growing confident in French - shocking myself and others.
