Every year, the Belgian royal residence Castle of Laeken opens its greenhouses to the public. They are a very rare example of surviving 19th century greenhouse architecture in Belgium. So Jon took me on a nice day out. Because I nagged him. • . . . #travel #travelwithme #wanderlust #iamatraveller #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #photooftheday #igdaily #igers #trip #travelgram #instatravel #architecture #adventure #travelphotography #Belgium #royal #Brussels #Laeken #dayoff #igersbelgium #europe #belgique #couple #love #royalpalace #spring #greenhouse #history #selfie

I received photographic lighting equipment for my birthday, and I tested it out with this “early 2000s mildly successful historical romance writer” aesthetic. I am definitely keeping this picture for the cover of my upcoming book “The Darkness Beyond Cabot Cove” about how Jessica Fletcher was the killer all along. In other news, I am now fully equipped to take your passport photos, which might come in handy. EDIT: Folks, it was intended as a joke; I am not really writing a book about Jessica Fletcher being a serial killer (unless you’re a publisher reading this, in which case I am totally down with it). I am however writing a PhD dissertation on the strategies of transfer of culture-bound items in the French translations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland from 1869 to 2009, which admittedly is a little less fun than bringing down everybody’s favourite Maine widow, but still needs to be done. #phdlife
So I was having a terrible day trying to sort out all kinds of academic and administrative matters, when Jon suggested taking our afternoon off to go to the zoo. The Zoo of Maubeuge is a quaint little thing, but it offers some advantages compared to its larger competitors, including but not limited to a cheaper entrance price and apparently, actual dedication to the animals and their wellbeing. It’s still a zoo, and I am very much on the fence on the whole captivity/protection of endangered species debate, but I love the zoo of Maubeuge. Here’s an albino wallaby, which simply is your regular Bennett’s wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) with albinism. Fun fact: there is a colony of about 200 white wallabies on Bruny Island (south of Tasmania) where they thrive due to the lack of predators.
My eye is half closed for some reason BUT it really doesn’t matter because I got to meet my favourite actor of all time, the ridiculously talented (and incredibly hot, let’s face it) Mads Mikkelsen • . . #madsmikkelsen Thank you, @jon.dub_who for this amazing early birthday present! ❤️
My Silly Bunny is doing somersaults And so am I Why? You’ll know tomorrow.
