The middle of August

In my corner of the world, this is peak holiday time. This week end is a particularly busy one. Traffic, on roads and airports, is just pretty heavy. The outside world is kept outside the people´s minds. More than usually, that´s it. No time to think about the huge discrepancy between our own life styles and those prevalent in many parts of the planet. This a moment for beach and sun. Our thick skin is anxious to get a good tan. That´s the way we see things around here. 

Fools and long weekends

On April Fool’s Day you might not believe me but it was a sunny day in Brussels. Cold but sunny!

You should also trust me if I tell you that this evening most of the residential areas of the city are as deserted as in a holiday. Tomorrow is a working day but people seem to be extending the Easter weekend…

Europe loves long weekends…

Who told you we have to work harder to get over the crisis?
