... surely Ghent only became Belgian in 1830?

"Ghent wis an aa the steid o the signin o the Treaty o Ghent which formally endit the War o 1812 atween Breetain an the Unitit States. 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.

Deadly cold and grey, wind N/NE. Temp at this height is currently -2C, so will drop sharply towards sunset.

Unwisely chose to cycle home after dark today...

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.

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.

Picture of sky for the full moon around these parts:

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.
