Efter the battle o Waterloo Ghent became a pairt o the Unitit Kinrick o the Netherlands for 15 years. In this period Ghent established its awn university (1817) an a new connection tae the sea (1824–27)". I hope this helps.

            Well it worked for Alvin. Mind you, he probably got a cab home when it was cold.

            Snowed here overnight, kinda, a little bit.

                      A perfect example of what happens when snow is on the cusp of the snow moon.

                      I checked my calendar first.

                        Some good pictures on today's BBC News site:
                        February's full moon also coincides with a partial lunar eclipse.

                          Yes indeed.

                          Big snow up here now. A friend arrived, had a quick cup of coffee and has gone back home because of the conditions. Micro-climate. Up to the nearby M25 junction, it was fine.

                              The moon is like a boat, my love
                              Of lemon peel afloat, my love
                              And with a sail of gauze, my love
                              She seems to slightly pause
                              Upon her silent way
                              All on her starry way

                                'Sometimes it rained, but mostly it was just dull, a land without shadows. It was like living inside Tupperware.' - Bill Bryson. The sky today isn't grey but rather like a milk white tupperware box that has been left in dirty washing up water for a week. (Not that I would know - I am assuming). One for S-A - is the eternal fog here an extension of London smog? While it used to be the case that you could wake up in the morning and see nothing of the valley or the opposite hill, I do not recall it being every day and in all weathers.
