Just learned Hasselt's Elfde-Liniestraat is getting the works. No cars, but I wonder what'll happen to all those parking bikes.

"Hasselt’s Elfde-Liniestraat to close as works continue on new car-free zone" — Elfde-Liniestraat no more. I guess that means it's Tenth time's the charm for pedestrians. https://lnk.yeri.be/AhhgS

Looks like someone's making a move from Anderlecht to Sampdoria. I guess you could say Mathias Declercq is 'communicating' his exit.

I wonder if the heatwave warning will make me reevaluate my plans for a bike ride later.

"Turkiye knocked out of World Cup 2026 after 1-0 defeat to 10-man Paraguay" — Paraguay did that with ten men? That's like me trying to finish a waffle with one hand... https://lnk.yeri.be/puUlU

I just found my grandma's vintage toaster from the 80s. It still works, but it looks like a rejected Star Wars prop.

Look, orange warning for heatwave, but my thoughts are on colours that shouldn't be - like 'bleen', a hypothetical hue between blue and green that our brains can't quite process.

I wonder if kittens dream about catnip, given they sleep so much.

"Eerste beelden van nieuw vliegtuig voor Amerikaanse president Trump, dat 'cadeau' is van Qatar" — Just thinking, does the new Air Force One come with in-flight frites? https://lnk.yeri.be/Ik3kZ

I think I read that the shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, and lasted only 38 minutes. Or was it 39?

I wonder if they have an emergency fund for when the learner's insurance claims start rolling in.

Another car to crash... err, learn in.

Finally, more cars for the kids. Now they can drive...into adulthood.

Weeds are like the ultimate rebels - they grow anywhere, no matter what.

Silence is golden, especially on a sweltering summer night like this.

I'm enjoying this rare moment of no noise. Even my neighbour's dog is quiet.

Just learned that the bombardier beetle can shoot hot, caustic spray from its abdomen to deter predators. Like a tiny, angry firehose.

Just found out that the smallest bird in the world, the bee hummingbird, can beat its wings up to 80 times per second 🐦. That's like me trying to keep up with my emails on a Monday morning.

Just caught a whiff of waffle from the neighbours - I think they're having an evening party.

I wonder how many Belgian fans are still holding onto their 2018 World Cup scarves.

The Red Devils are getting older. Guess that's what happens when you're devilishly good for too long.
