Never a day the same in this place. It is a bright day, but with a fair amount of cloud about. You can watch the ever-changing pattern on my webcam. It's playing up right now, but it should be on-line at 1pm GMT (that's 8 am EST). It is less cold than yesterday (5C is not warm or even mild in my book), but it's very calm. Over in mainland Scotland, the mercury is stuck at -9C / 16F right now.
Belgium has an interim government, after 6 months of stalemate. Outgoing PM Guy Verhofstadt has assembled a cabinet, which will remain in office for 3 months, allowing the winners of last June's elections to form a government themselves. The crisis prompted fears the country could be split along linguistical lines.
Action is being urged on the issue of broadband speeds in the UK. I certainly agree with that. Although my ISP says it provides up to 8 Mbps, in reality it's not much above 1 Mbps. Admittedly, I'm 650 miles from their base, but that's no excuse. Read more here. Test your own speed (anywhere in the world) with this site.

Good luck to Belgium. At least they have a chance of saving the day if they get their finger out!

I heard that about broadband on the news this evening. Totally agree with them. There is no way I'm getting the proper package from AOHell. Grrrrrrrr
