Simply warm, 28°C, and sunny today, not the high humidity so no chance of getting thunderstorms.

The morning temperature, 13°C, is too hot for running. Well I do run but I don't really enjoy it. I really prefer cold weather or rain to run in.

With the weather w have it is an ideal day for staying out in the garden.

In the news

In Enschedee, the Netherlands a fireworks warehouse took fire (arson?). A local television crew and the local fire guards arrived and started their work. Moments later about 100 tons of the fireworks stuff exploded. Blowing away whole houses. All of this was taped on film. About 15 corpses have been recovered, some 200 people still remain 'missing' but this being a weekend it is possible a lot of those will only come home this evening.
One of the questions posed (mostly by politicians) is how it was possible to have such a depot in the middle of a residential area. No one (of them) knew that it was a fireworks depot. Of course no one prefers to remember that the warehouse existed before the area was released for building houses.

Now the politicians, in the Netherlands but also here in Belgium, start wring their hands, they can device new and extra laws.
