Warmest mid-October weekend ever

Ever since they began the observations somewhere around 1850, this is surely the warmest ever October weekend we've known!

Yesterday, the sun got to 26° Celsius, which is just like in summer! And today is not much less. A very nice weekend, thus.

A very busy one, too. Yesterday we walked into town to do some shopping (mostly for food) and in the late afternoon we went to visit a former neighbor of ours. When we were kids, there were 4 girls living next to each other: me and my sister, Christel of next door and next to her Marian. We often played together, although I was somewhat older than the rest.

Christel and Marian married and moved away. Christel is still married to her Erwin, but Marian got a divorce. Both girls have two daughters and Marian just became grandma for the first time a couple of days ago.

Every once in a while, we get together to talk about the old days and have lots of fun. So yesterday we were at Christel's and like before, it was great fun and it was quite late when we got back!

This morning, we had to go voting (yes, we are obliged to go here in Belgium) for municipal elections. Don't suppose much will change, though.

Unfortunately, the weather is about to change in the coming week. Looks like we're getting into autumn for real!
