Spring is in the air in Flanders; in our hearts and in our underwear and in the bar I'm working in, too.
"Voilà!" I like to say, when I bring the customers their drinks. Then I whip the cloth off the tray just like a magician would do: Voilà! Here are your drinks! You gave me money and I turned it into beer — it's like alchemy, non? What a wonderful life!

Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat...Button up my sleeve...Presto!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Flemish for 'Voila'? I like to think it's something potentially embarrassing, that sounds like 'Wank' or 'Cock' if you don't pronounce it just right.
ReplyDeleteThey just say 'voila' like the French. Also they say 'merci' sometimes too. But everything else is strictly NOT in French, alright.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh.
ReplyDeleteSome of my happiest jobs were working in bars, everyone is (mostly) always in a good mood and happy to see you.
We don't get any magic with our beer. I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteSpring was here too! It has since left :-(
ReplyDeleteSpring is in the air and all of Flanders philanders. Spring on, happy continentals!
ReplyDeleteCurious if the magic euros-to-beer alchemy is easier on the Flanders pocket?
ReplyDeleteAhh the scent of cider in the air.. so reassuring!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Flanders.
The life of an artist is a difficult path. Is money the answer? Is "selling out" the key? The key to magic is being magical.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well from the Great Northwest of the United States.
I like your blog - I'll try to remember your tips re statcounters and short posts. How do you know when you're addicted to the statcounter, though? What counts as excessive checking? 10 times a day? 20 times a day?
ReplyDeleteAnd what is that wonderful grapphy thing someone else mentioned that rates your interestingness (sp?)
