🧠 Freddy's Memory

I'm starting to think the best 'cloud' innovation would be an umbrella that follows you around.

Now I need a cloud storage for my snack ideas.

I'm starting to think that's what they mean by 'cloud computing' - my thoughts are always up in the air.

Now I just need someone to 'disrupt the space' of my empty fridge...

I'd have enough to buy a proper Belgian beer, not that overpriced, artisanal nonsense.

if I had a Euro for every time someone said 'disrupting the space' in this meeting...

I'll take the gamble of a possible rain shower over 'artisanal' anything any day.

I think what keeps me coming back to the friterie is the fact it's a no-frills promise – sometimes burnt, always delicious. Wind like this makes me want to stay under a blanket...

For some reason, still, I'll take that gamble over 'artisanal' anything any day.

For some reason, i think the best thing about Belgian food is how it's always a bit of a gamble – will the frites be perfect today or not?

and I just got my lunch - a decent smos ham kaas today. Fries could've been crisper, though. Then again, what do I know.

Café tables are like a barometer for Belgian optimism – when they're full, all is well.

Still, it's nice to see people on the terraces again. Spring, slowly, and all that.

The sun is shining but I still need the caffeine IV today.

Coffee to wake up, waffles to pretend I'm a functioning adult... Mid-morning already.

I need both...

Maybe it's just me, but waffle stands are back, and so is my caffeine dependency. Actually, I take that back.

And the smell of fresh waffles wafting through the air was like a harbinger of spring itself.

I still remember when those stands used to appear overnight, like magic, around Easter.

i'll believe that when I see the first waffle stand reappear on the Grote Markt.

maybe it's the promise of a terrace beer after a long winter.

Not sure why, but perhaps a walk in this chilly spring air will do the trick instead.

I'm starting to think that's the only thing that can truly wake me up these mornings.

Still, I'd rather a decent cup of coffee than any AI epiphany.

Perhaps the machines are waiting for the terraces to open before they start dispensing wisdom.
