Emile was here

Abraham Teniers, Le Corps de Garde (Antwerp 1650) Scattered around the room we see a large drum and pieces of several sets of armour—one of them still on its stand—and pistols and harquebusses hanging on the wall, on which a flag is also draped. Several men are smoking and drinking.

I really like these etiquette signs on Belgian trains. Especially that they use first-person plural and don’t actually command, rather include.

In Brussels this week. Loving the effort that goes into making streets safer for people of all ages.

Het is begonnen! De wind uit het N/NO bracht de eerste grote golf vogeltrek met zich mee! De afgelopen twee nachten zagen we het onmiskenbare signaal op de ongefilterde radarbeelden, zoals hier op de KNMI-radar van Herwijnen gisterenavond (de heldere vlekken boven de Noordzee zijn buien).

Another one of Dr Louis Auzoux’s ‘anatomie clastique’ mannequins - life-sized anatomical statues made from his own special papier-mâché, which can be taken apart to explore the anatomy. I’ve seen many of these, but they always make me happy. This particular one is in the Medical Museum in Brussels

On continue de parcourir le raccordement de l'Allée verte jusqu'à la rue du Progrès. Sur la photo ci-dessous, une autre vue du passage à niveau de la rue du Progrès (voir photo d'hier), cette fois prise depuis le faisceau de Bruxelles-Nord. Auteur et date de la photo inconnus.

Les traducteurs n'aiment pas quand on mélange les langues, en l'occurrence du français, du néerlandais (tr : 'belles fêtes wallonnes') et du wallon (a tortos, à tout le monde) Et donc au final, ça donne cet inoubliable : "Belles soirées galloises avec des tortues". .

As a Belgian living in Reading this plaque is my absolute favourite object in your collection. A reminder of the warm welcome Reading has provided to those seeking asylum from great attrocities in the past. @brussels.bsky.social #rdguk

I recently visited the wonderful Museum of Industry in Ghent, Belgium, with its exhibitions on the history of the textiles and printing industries. The impressive collection shows how people across centuries solved increasingly complex problems with increasingly complex machinery.

I love Belgium so much. Before I spent much time there I assumed that it was just some small, geopolitical accident. But now I think of it as a small miracle.

Did you know that the 17th-century city hall of Amsterdam, symbol of republican power in the Dutch Republic, was almost entirely decorated by a sculptor from Antwerp?

Belgian railways are a weird mix of the very smart modern and stuff from the 80s still in front line service. Which is sort of like the country, really.
