Brussels is suddenly cold. It had been coddlingly warm for a long time. Unfortunately we're paying for it now. Fortunately my bike was stolen the same day it got cold, so I don't have to bike in the cold. Unfortunately this means I have to take the metro to work. Fortunately, my boss is pretty lax about punctuality, so this isn't too much of a problem (it's slow and often late). Unfortunately, it means I have to get a new bike. Fortunately, my boss has a bike he can loan me. Unfortunately he lost the key. Fortunately the lock is of poor quality. Unfortunately I still don't know how to cut it. Fortunately he knows a bike shop that will take care of it. Unfortunately he has two children under the age of 3 and a full-time job, so he doesn't have much time to do it. Fortunately, this means I won't have to worry about getting gloves too soon. Unfortunately, this makes it hard for me to do groceries after work. Fortunately, my room-mate is unemployed and can do them during the day. Unfortunately he was in Frankfurt this weekend. Fortunately I was here. Unfortunately I had a dodgeball tournament on Saturday. Fortunately it was fun. Unfortunately it meant I didn't go to the market as per usual on Saturday. Fortunately it made me realise how incredibly out of shape I am. Unfortunately I am very out of shape. Fortunately it's winter and everyone else is out of shape too.

an unfortunate wind
