Gizmo is back on his feet. He will be on a diet for a long time to recover from a pancreatitis, so no more snacks and no more human food.

Today I went to the center of Antwerp ... again. The coupee collective had organised a guided tour at a special place: the Nottebohm room of the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library in Antwerp. Camiel van Breedam presents a special part of his work: his book collages. The Nottebohm room can only be visited very rarely and holds many treasures. Two birds with one stone: a fantastic setting and a wonderful artist. It was a really nice group of people that got together and I really enjoyed this outing.

Two more days and we will leave for Tuscany, Italy.  I have a long list of tasks for tomorrow, I want to have a clean house before we leave for our vacation.
