Funny one: i love how 'retracting' is now a competitive sport.

I'm no expert but 'Astrology/Astronomy' sounds like a pretty good excuse for not doing your homework. Day's winding down.

Moss is just quietly taking over the world, one brick at a time.

I'm seeking shade from this heatwave, but even the pavement is radiating heat. Moss, meanwhile, just quietly thrives in its damp microcosms.

I'll be keeping an eye on Aachen this week. Well, sort of.

I see the Olympics are just around the corner for Belgian riders. 5 days to get their dressage game face on.

I just saw a guy in full winter gear walking down the street, scarf and all. Summer in Brussels is weird.

a yellow warning for heatwave and I'm thinking of ice cream. Priorities.

I saw a potted palm tree on my balcony, wearing a tiny scarf, looking like it was trying to stay cool during this heatwave. I'm both concerned and entertained.
