aujourd'hui il fait vraiment beau

After 2 days tied to my bed with my collection of vick's vapo rub products, I decided I had to go out. It looked nice out the window, but than again, so it did the day I underestimated the strength of the Belgian sun and got sick. I wanted to get back to my jogging, which I had so much enjoyed right after arriving. There may be many downsides to colder climates but when it comes to jogging, a max 20 celcius, is best according to me. Hesitan but eager, wearing 2 layers of tops and a scarf I headed for the wonderful Cinquantenaire. Today I took a different route and arrived at an entrance gate sooner. Would have liked to say, I just ran faster, but the weakened by the cold lungs and throat allowed only for an average tempo. Happy that I had found this shortcut, which not only meant I got to spend more time crousing the park allies, it also meant having to stop at only 2 roadlights. Although I avoided the busiest thouroughfare in the area, I did get to do my share of observations today as well. Not sure how much more warm it acually is today vis-à-vis Saturday, yet today I saw plenty of bare legs, short sleeves, once even flip-flops:) I also noticed that the more springy clothes and accessories sported today streched outside the limits of beige, brown and black. So maybe there is a spring in Brussels after all?;)
Without being too sarcastic, there's one advice I need to give to anyone who is planning a move to Brussels soon, 2 items you can not forget are a coat and a hair dryer. Air drying hair is not an option here at all, unless July proves me wrong. The lack of a coat just means you run a daily risk of wearing wet clothes. An umbrella is not always enough...
