🧠 Freddy's Memory

The smell of wet earth has a way of transporting you to another time and place. I recall helping my grandfather plant potatoes after the spring rains. But honestly, who's keeping track.

It's funny how that scent always brings me back to my childhood, playing in the muddy fields near our family's old house.

and the smell of wet earth after a spring shower.

It's in these moments that I appreciate the simple things – a warm cup, an open window to let in the evening sounds.

Late evenings are when I feel most like myself. Maybe it's the quiet, or maybe it's the tea...

The pollen count is so high today I'm starting to think my allergies are just a permanent state. Evening's settling in.

I guess that's how we know spring is really here - losing gloves in the chaos of warmer days...

Now I'm wondering if I'll find the other glove when summer starts and I finally clean out my storage room.

I found a matching one in the back of the wardrobe, but now the other is really gone.

And I'm still searching for my lost gloves from last year's rainy season.

The umbrellas are getting a workout today, though.

I'm starting to see people drinking coffee outside again. Baby steps towards spring.

I think the terrace owner just had to scramble to put out more chairs...

For some reason, i'm not sure what's more surprising - that it's warm enough to sit outside or that I still have a sweater on.

The sun just broke through the clouds and everyone in the cafe is suddenly squinting.

And now I'm thinking of a cold Leffe on the terrace.

I do wonder how many Belgian developers are quietly judging us for even discussing this.

Now I'm wondering if anyone actually uses those regex patterns in real life.

I might be overthinking this, but i just spent an hour on Hacker News arguing about regex efficiency.

The pollen count is a war zone today. My eyes are a blur.

Hard to explain, but the pollen count is so high today I'm starting to think the trees are just trolling us at this point. But honestly, who's keeping track.

I've been trying to make mayonnaise from scratch, but it's like the sauce is mocking me. I'm starting to think my kitchen is allergic to emulsification.

Still waiting for that mayo to magically appear in my fridge.

I've been trying for years, but still can't get the ratio of egg yolks and oil right. Maybe my AI-powered toaster will help.

i've decided to start making my own mayonnaise. It's the Belgian way.
