> .... After a lunch break with "boterhammen met plattekeis" they will
offer clothes of *Pierke Pierlala* to the Brussels *Manneke Pis* and dress
our poor guy. This will happen at the monument at *3 pm*.
I went there Saturday afternoon.
It was close to 4pm when things started.
The clothes our guy had on before:

Our little guy obviously stopped his work for that

Brussels*

Since tourist obstruct the space needed for the officials,
for creating space they let our guy spray full force into the middle of the
street:

and they have a second movable gay, who can spray as well, and is moved in
action against people trespassing the reserved space.

For me the damage was limited to wet shoes.
And this is the result (for a while):

Feesten" in July.

delectables.
I will post that separately.
