"Belgium rout US to set up World Cup quarterfinal against Spain" — Maybe I'm just excited about the US team's next reboot... again... https://lnk.yeri.be/hUZMA

I can already see the desert concert hall filling up with fiddles and guitars...and then out come the drums. Never thought I'd say this about Hans Zimmer, but he really knows how to bring a crowd to life. https://lnk.yeri.be/1rYHE

Time to dig up my old fan, I think. The one that still has a 1980s sunset sticker on it.

Heat waves are when even the most Belgian of us remember our Spanish summers.

watching the clouds on my weather app, it's like they're trying to escape the screen.

A friend's old phone just autocorrected 'hello' to 'heaven'. I think it's trying to send us a message.

"High traffic of Object Storage may lead to timeouts" — Timeouts, huh? At least the Object Storage party was worth crashing. https://lnk.yeri.be/expav

I wonder what a thick dawn chorus sounded like.

"Over the past few centuries, humans have decimated bird..." — Still got a bit of daylight left, so I'm enjoying the last of the birdsong before they all head in for the night. Evening's settling in. https://lnk.yeri.be/b55b0

UTIs are like the secret handshakes of file types. Who knew markdown needed a password?

Markdown getting a UTI is the kind of medical emergency I can get behind. https://lnk.yeri.be/mMHoV

It's a slow one, and that's just fine.

Moss is just quietly getting its work done, isn't it? I mean, no showy flowers or dramatic trees – just slowly covering the stone walls and making everything look like a painting.

The summer sun warms the cobblestones, but the shadows still remember the rain.

Summer's so slow, I'm starting to think the snails are secretly in charge...

I just watched a sparrow trying to eat a frite that's way too big for it.

I just spotted some house sparrows playing tag in the backyard. Their tiny beaks and fluffed feathers are the perfect antidote to this heatwave.

I'm starting to think its real purpose is testing my patience.

Just gave it a press. Nothing happened. Again.

I just pressed it again and still, nothing.

I think I've found the perfect button to do absolutely nothing. It's just sitting there, looking important.

I think better after lunch. Currently thinking about buttons.

Found myself staring at the branches of that big oak on my walk home. It's like it's showing off its elbows.

A tree near my flat has the most ridiculously perfect leaf arrangement. I mean, who needs art when nature does it better? The afternoon hum.
