Today is drizzling rain again. After breakfast the gruppo sportivo drives me to the end of yesterday’s walk, Houyet in Belgium, about 60 km. from our current lodge in Haybes, Northern France. There in Houyet I get dropped, but not after first of all entering the same bakery-patisserie where we yesterday had coffee with “festering toe” like Wim calls a cream cone. The Belgian eye-catcher of the ladies unfortunately had not yet arrived in the lunchroom. I was walking, now without the sports club again and without horse Leon, from 12 to 17.30. Upon arrival at Marche-en-Famenne Tosca was put in the garage under the house where I had agreed chambres d’hotes with a single lady of my age . Leon is staying for the first time in four months for a number of days in a riding school near our hotel of the last few days in Haybes (Leon in Oignies-en-Thiérache). Tomorrow morning I would like to walk a lot until I get picked up from the street by our arriving medical office staff. Probably then I’ll be arrived almost, if not completely, in Durbuy. Saturday afternoon after being picked up in Durbuy by practice staff and from Durbuy being brought back to my hangout in Haybes, plans are that on Sunday I get dropped again in Durbuy, in order to walk on from there with Leon and Tosca.
I do some shopping, eat in the dining room a whole baguette with a whole stink cheese, take care of Tosca, looking in vain for a few hours on my I-pad for lodging for tomorrow, near Sprimont and thinking with horror on the busy roads, but having fun at the idea that the medical office group will come to visit me tomorrow.
Damaged roadside. It remains dangerous
