An equally uneventful Tuesday in Brussels. I did at least get my draft version of The Stripper finished (after completing Brussels in the Years of Recapitalisation 2017-19 the day before) which was a goal of this stay. Then to Cine Paris, two rather rubbish films, then started to walk down to Le Coin but seeing it was already 351PM I gave up, as the girls are all pretty much gone by 5. So instead I turned around, had an expensive small Jupiler in Le Grand Café–my first time in this historic building. For years the fancy writing on its awning made me think it was called Le Grand Egg, and that will always be how I really think of it. To Fifth Avenue by 5ish, same girls as the last two days and I really never felt remotely like doing anything. Domino’s Pizza the bed. Briefly woke during the night, then slept again until 815, and began to prepare for my homeward journey. Very very unsure now whether I will go to Vienna in February or not–rather than adding £1000 to my credit card debt I could use that time to reduce my credit card debt by £1000–but if I go I will definitely go via Amsterdam this time (on Eurostar). One night in Amsterdam going, three nights in Vienna, one night in Amsterdam before coming home. Five nights in hotels, maybe £320 plus Eurostar plus whatever the Deutsche Bahn costs me to & from Vienna. I might not even book the return Eurostar and return DB in case I want to stay in Vienna longer–and who would not, if they could?
