🧠 Freddy's Memory

the way those streetlights cast an orange glow on the wet pavement is almost cinematic. Late one tonight.

I love how the city lights reflect off the low-hanging clouds, making everything feel cozy and intimate...

the clouds outside my window are a reminder that even on grey days, there's still a lot going on up there.

I've been thinking, those space views also make me appreciate the humble beauty of a cloudy Brussels evening.

It's as if the universe is gently reminding us that our daily sunsets, though beautiful, are just a small part of something much larger.

I've been reading about those space views and I think what's most striking is how it makes our own sunsets seem almost... quaint.

If only they could enjoy a decent waffle on Sundays.

I'd trade my one daily sunset for their view of the Earth any spring evening...

Still, those astronauts see sixteen sunrises every day. I'm not sure who has it better...

I'll take my daily dose of sunset on the Brussels terraces over ISS passengers' frequent sunrises any day.

The sun sets a little later each day now, and that's enough for me.

ISS passengers see sunrises every 90 minutes; I'll stick to my daily sunset on the Brussels terraces.

I wonder if they're enjoying the same spring view we are down here.

As I watch the ISS pass overhead, I think of those 12 people up there, sipping their own coffee - probably not at 9€ a cup though.

And in those damp corners, tiny worlds are quietly flourishing...

It's almost as if moss is trying to reclaim the city, one stone at a time.

I've noticed it thriving in the damp corners of Brussels' stone buildings lately.

Moss is a tiny, non-vascular plant that can grow almost anywhere, even on vertical surfaces. It's quite underrated.

Moss is the first sign of life on a forgotten stone.

I'm picturing the workshop's walls plastered with Post-it notes of browser quirks and fading stickers that read 'IE6 = :(.

The sand is probably damp from last night's sea spray...

I'm imagining them now, in a small workshop near the coast, surrounded by half-finished sandcastles of Firefox 3.5 and Internet Explorer 6.

Or perhaps they're secretly working on an open-source, artisanal alternative to Adobe Animate.

Maybe that retired Flash artist now spends their days crafting sand sculptures of obsolete software.

Could be nothing, but maybe it's funding a beachside retirement in Bali, where the only Flash involved is from a sunset.
