It's raining, there’s some funky flute music playing and I have chocolate.
Not quite the blues brothers, admittedly.
Well, a singularly uneventful day, the course wibbles on being actually fairly useful – yes I was surprised too. The high point of the (non-learning side) course was when the instructor/tutor/bloke used the word 'flange' in one of his examples and the semi bemused debate about comparing horse objects for operators. Yes, we're software engineers, 'interesting' is something that happens to other people.
However I have managed to find a local dentist to drill my face tomorrow in order to sort out what happened to my tooth on Sunday. Bah humbug. Huge bill pending I expect, bah.
There was free beer after the lesson however and I discussed the nature of the evolution of drink over the past few years with a couple of the other people on the course, mad dog 20/20 surfacing once again in conversation – will the madness never end. Oh yes, it’s one crazy ride here in course-town, uh-huh.
However I have discovered my all time favorite shop. Chocology a shop selling a bunchload of imported chocs from Belgium and all over the place, the assistant was bemused by the sheer look of wonder and awe when I walked in and looked around, I have a pileload of choc to try and a load of special offers to try and take advantage of depending on which ones I like from my selection.
Mmmmm chocolate.
Tangentially, the hotel TV service is pretty pants, but after a bit of fiddling I've nearly managed to crack the system so I can watch films for free, although when I actually bothered to check the selection there I decided it wasn’t actually worth doing anyway; the Matrix is on yet again tonight anyway so that'll do for background noise as I continue my exploration of Lovecraft's many books. Fine stuff indeed.
Well punters, that’s me for the evening, times’a getting along and it's time for me to find some sort of food to eat apart from the bucketload of chocolate (mmm) I have. Stay tuned, when in day three where we find out if in fact I can think of anything interesting to say and you can vote to evict parts of my brain.

Re: Chocology
Already sent them a mail asking if they stock Dolfin. ;o)
After gourmetstore.be's raising their postage charges, it isn't cheaper to order direct from Belgium anymore. It's now something like 2.20 per bar instead of 1.60 before.
