You ever have one of those weeks that feels like it’s dragging bricks behind it? Yeah, this was one of them. So today, I carved out a little space, a solo walk during lunch. The sky was putting on its best dramatic performance: streaks of gray, winds whipping like they had something to prove, and not a hint of sun in sight.
But honestly? It was perfect. There’s something grounding about walking through that kind of moodiness, nature matching your inner monologue, step for step. It wasn’t long, but it was enough. Enough to breathe. Enough to reset.
And later? We went out for dinner. just the two of us. No phones. No distractions. Just warmth, laughter, and the kind of conversation that gently stitches frayed nerves back together. These days aren’t easy, but moments like that? They remind you why you keep going.

My lunch walk was centered around the office building so more or less around the station of Brussels South.
And it was chilly with the wind in BXL.
Yes, the wind was incredibly chilly yesterday! In BXL, and in The Kempen as well :-) I was lucky to be WFH yesterday, unfortunately today I need to go to the Mechelen office, meaning walks in the park if the weather and the meetings allow, or walks at the industry park :-D
Now... Walking around the Station of Brussels South... That DOES seem like a challenge, and somewhat exciting, no? Always something to see there if I'm not mistaken :-D Must admit, I've never yet worked in that area, mostly around BXL Nord, which is ok, if you choose the right direction, or, well... and a few years next to BXL Central, which is of course a great area for lunchtime walks...

Mmh, apparently it was a long day at the office. No idea why I did wrote South it should have been North of course. I never crossed the tunnels :)
I always do they same walk, start at the office go to Rogier from there back to the station, grab mu starbucks coffee and back to the office.
Such a lovely moment is very refreshing.

Dinner out just the two of you sounds like exactly what you guys needed!👍😊
Awesome steps, my friend almost 10 K!💪🤗
It was absolutely exactly what we needed! And we enjoyed it very much, that's for sure!
Thanks! Yeah, just a little short of 10k steps, but was too late and tired to put in the extra 500 :-D

Still so very good for your health my friend!!💪🤗😀
Indeed :-) That’s my reasoning as well, the 500 missing steps will not suddenly render the 9500 steps unhealthy :-D lol

Indeed, both of them were very welcome :-) But the dinner for two had been way too long, especially now with the kids we have very little (as in, 0) time with just the two of us. Not that we were the only ones in the restaurant, but still :-)
