  1. It is dawning on me that not every country knows the joy that is the (Christmas) Tractor Lights Parade. There is an endless stream of farmers dressing up their nicest tractor for an evening ride.

  5. I love my little desk setup at home: space for my cute pen case, Hobonichi journal, fake grass pen stand, a cup of tea (with our Libraries Without Borders logo), Herbin ink and pencil sharpener 😻
    Ray of sunshine optional 🌞
    Makes you want to work, doesn’t it?

  6. TFW you’re browsing next season’s concert brochure and you sense impending bankruptcy as you say at least twice on every page “Oh!” 🫣🎶🎵🎼🎻🎺🎷🪉🪈

  7. More adventures in water today! Woke up to a cold house with part of the electricity gone. Isolated the faulty circuit, situation stable so we went for our planned (dry!) day trip.

    Came back to dark and cold house, fidgeted a lot to isolate two faulty circuits (on two separate boards). Back to heating, light and stove top.

    Water levels down a little bit, but not in our basement 😬

    View from Bruges, not the misbehaving Dender!

  8. It’s hard to hear people say we should move or that we chose this ourselves. Some of this situation is the result of decades of mismanagement and incorrect understanding of how water behaves; some of it the result of changing weather patterns (aka climate change). Some people built here without knowing or understanding the risks.

    In short: stuff is complex, people are emotional, and water is pretty, you can’t do without, and it’s dangerous.

    4/4

  9. There is already a ton of critique building on the delays with refurbishing the locks and weirs on the Dender.

    We’re also have an abnormal amount of rain on oversaturated soil, flooding is to be expected.

    And we live in the area where in the 50s-60s people came ice skating, these were the natural holding basins and flood plains of the river. Building came with risks, risks that intensified as the rain patterns changed.

  10. - fire brigade has been up and down our area all night and day
    - some neighbours have an anxious time, but nothing like 2010 yet
    - facebook rumours about imminent evacuation of our streets are ridiculous
    - I did see the mayor drive around yesterday night late! He really follows up with coordination and for those who want the human touch

  11. Not sure if we’ve reached the highest point yet (forecasted for this afternoon).
    - Police came and did a preventive welfare check yesterday night, and gave a nice letter from provincial and local authorities
    - sandbags were available earlier today (we didn’t need them)
    - motorised police were here keeping an eye on things here. I gave them a coffee and a glass of water - they’re out in the cold wind and rain all day

  12. No kidding about the danger of flooding following all the rain and the saturation of the soil. This morning I got wet feet running through this before it got to this size at lunch time. (Would't run through it now!)

  13. You know, the hashtags on here are so much better than on the other place

    Even if it took me a good minute to realize what #Macadamia was (not the nuts, though academia will drive you nuts much if the time these days). Then there is #Mosstodon and #Asstodon, also very clever ones.

    What other puns in hashtag land am I missing or unaware of?

  14. Flemish/Belgian politics has entered its René Magritte phase tonight: surrealism in Absurdistan.

    If the elections next year turn into a blood bath for the regular flavour political parties, please point to the past weeks’ political games from #VLD #OpenVLD as a major contributing factor to the electorate’s cynicism.

    If you read Dutch, check the bird site for “Open VLD” and have some fun.

  16. Today there was an official welcome moment for new inhabitants (and returnees, like me, I guess) of the city of #Aalst, Belgium. So now I’m officially an Onion again.

    Come and visit, it’s a lovely area and the city has some cool history and good food and there’s lots of nature nearby. And if you want carnival, we’ve got that too (be prepared to be offended for 3 days straight if you’re sensitive. Even UNESCO learned that).

  17. Officially registered as unemployed jobseeker as of this morning. Bye bye academia! Nice knowing you! :blobcatwave:

    Boosts appreciated!
