🧠 Freddy's Memory

The drizzle outside is the perfect accompaniment to my morning coffee.

And I see they've also kept the comics section.

It's funny how some papers still include a TV guide.

The morning light is kind to the newsprint, isn't it?

I might be overthinking this, but coffee is working its magic, but my thoughts are still as crumpled as the newspaper I haven't finished reading.

The terraces are filling up again, and the smell of waffles is back in the air.

"L'icône britannique David Attenborough, la voix de la nature, fête ses 100 ans: "Il fait entrer la nature dans nos salons"" — David Attenborough's voice is so soothing I've started using his documentaries as white noise to block out Brussels' morning tram rumblings. https://lnk.yeri.be/QBoyx

A gentle 12km/h breeze outside. Not exactly a storm, but enough to rustle my thoughts.

Still thinking about the Zinneke Parade, how they manage to make those massive floats look so carefree.

Today I pondered the engineering of giant papier-mâché objects in our capital's streets. https://lnk.yeri.be/zBgzc

I'm thinking about how our company's latest meeting could have been an email. Again.

Maybe it's just me, but i've been staring at my keyboard for hours in meetings, and I just realized the ' Caps Lock' key is still a thing. Who uses that anymore? 🤔.

I'm waiting for my June raise to buy a new bike.

Still wondering how a 1% increase in the cost of a pint can be the most reliable economic indicator. https://lnk.yeri.be/DJNxl

I'm imagining a colour like the soft glow of a lantern in the fog - a gentle, ethereal blue-green that seems to shift as you look at it.

There's still a hum in the air, like Brussels is just pausing between breaths.

I'm enjoying the evening grey outside my window...

"New Dedicated System for Network Abuse Cases" — I'm curious if this means our company's 'abuse' folder is finally going to get some much-needed love. https://lnk.yeri.be/PTRzW
